Approached via a sweeping drive, leading to Westridge, offering off road parking for several cars. The enclosed storm porch and front door, leads to a good size tiled entrance hall with high coved ceilings, where you are greeted by an immediate sense of space and light. There are two formal rooms consisting of the dining room, characterized by an angular bay window, beams to ceiling and ornamental wood surround fireplace with lighting and a large range of fitted shelving. The attractive wood block flooring continues into the second formal living room, an impressive space which is dominated by an original curved, brick fireplace with panelled walls and brick hearth housing a good size woodburner with bench fitted seating to each side. Double doors from this room leads to the sunny art studio, which was added in later years, offering windows and french doors to the rear, taking full advantage of those breathtaking views. The kitchen breakfast room is a well fitted room, the kitchen offering a range of white fronted units incorporating Candy double oven, Candy 4 burner hob with extractor unit over, space for fridge freezer, space and plumbing for washing machine and dishwasher.

The rear garden is approached via the art studio and kitchen breakfast room, attractively planned and landscaped with a stone path winding down beside a generally level lawn edged with planted borders providing all year round interest. Small ornamental pond to the right of a large newly laid terrace providing ample entertaining space. The gardens are private and screened by walling and established hedgerow. A lawn extends to about 80ft and there is a timber shed and small potting shed.

The former garage which currently forms a useful workshop and storage area which could be repurposed. Ample parking is provided for to the front of the house. There is access to a small cellar from the rear garden.

Whilst the house provides comfortable accommodation the fixtures and fittings are old fashioned and today the property would benefit from upgrading.
