In the era of Art Deco, when Clark Gable and Shirley Temple were on the big screen, this property was in its heyday. Extended and remodelled to create a more contemporary space this lovely four bedroom home, with beautiful gardens, is awaiting a new lease of life.

The plot stretches from Back Lane to Front Street, but little can be seen of the lovely gardens and period fa ade which are hidden from view by high hedges on Front Street. The view of the house from Back Lane is also deceptive, giving little away of the charm and warmth of the interior. The kitchen, breakfast room, utility room and WC span the width of the house. The current owners removed the wall between the kitchen and breakfast room to create a lighter, more versatile, open plan space. The kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall units with an integrated dishwasher, an Aga, and space for an American style fridge freezer. At the far end there is room for a breakfast table and other furniture. There is plenty of extra space for appliances and further storage in the adjoining utility room. The two main reception rooms are either side of the entrance hall and look out over the colourful, mature gardens. There is potential to knock through from the breakfast area into the dining room to create a larger family living space, with fabulous, feature 1930 s bay window. The lovely, well proportioned sitting room retains much of its period charm with two porthole windows either side of the red brick fireplace. The four double bedrooms are upstairs, with plenty of built in and fitted cupboards and ample space for more storage. They share a bathroom with a shower over the bath and shower room, both fitted with modern white suites including wash hand basins and WCs.

The front of the house has a central entrance porch opening onto a private terrace and gardens stretching down to Front Street where there is a pedestrian gate. The mature, landscaped gardens are thoughtfully designed and full of colour and texture especially in the spring and summer, and a paved terrace provides a tranquil, sunny haven. There is access on both sides of the house leading to the main vehicular access, driveway and parking for a couple of cars. Here there is a further private, walled area, mainly laid to lawn, and three garden sheds. The high stone wall gives privacy to the garden and substantial double gates provide secure access to the side of the house.
