Description This extremely handsome, double fronted period house is believed to date to the turn of the 20th Century and now offers extremely comfortable, 4 bedroom accommodation which blends traditional character and detailing with contemporary style. A well loved home to our clients, the house has seen significant improvement during their 8 year ownership, including complete internal refurbishment and modernisation, landscaping of the gardens, rebuilding of the garden outbuilding, re roofing of the house itself and, most noticeably, the creation of a hugely impressive and visually striking living room extension. The house is accompanied by a large, beautifully kept, walled lawn garden featuring a home office, making this a wonderfully well rounded home with extremely broad appeal.
