"Having been in the same ownership for almost six decades, set in a highly regarded location, this handsome detached home offers a wealth of character.

Approached via the manicured front gardens you can t help but admire the undeniable character of the home. Viewers are first greeted with a large entrance hall, staircase to a galleried first floor landing with a stunning original Crittal window, a feature which appears throughout this home.

The ground floor has a delightful sitting room, with feature fireplace and patio doors out to the rear garden, a family room with access via a staircase down to a sizeable cellar and a separate dining room with a spectacular bay window. To the right hand side of the home there is also a spacious kitchen and, across the inner hallway a breakfast room and walk in pantry. Completing the downstairs is a cloakroom and toilet with external access out the side of the property.

Upstairs, the charming galleried first floor landing provides access to all five bedrooms, two of which have a Jack and Jill bathroom and separate toilet between them, whilst another shower room and separate toilet serve the remaining bedrooms.

Another feature of this fine home is its superb gardens; offering a wonderful south westerly aspect and beautifully landscaped with extensive lawns, mature borders and established trees. There is also an heated outdoor swimming pool with a fixed domed cover allowing it to be used all year round.

To the right hand side of the property there is a large garage and a series of brick built outbuildings, which together create a private courtyard area. There is also front to rear side access on both sides of the house and ample parking for a number of vehicles both on the driveway and in the garage.

Having been lovingly looked after and enjoyed for almost 60 years by the current owners, this terrific home is now ready for the next custodians to modernise and create a new family home.

The property is being sold with no upper chain.
