This imposing detached, double fronted, Gentleman’s residence dates back to the 1700s. The impressive bay windows to the front elevation were added to the property during the 1920s and feature Muranese leaded lights.

The generous accommodation is arranged over three floors and includes three reception rooms, a breakfast kitchen, dining kitchen, study, five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a cloakroom.

The property has been under the same ownership for almost forty years and is in need of some updating and renovation to provide the home comforts a modern family desires.

The property is situated along a private driveway and is set in approximately 1.5 acres of fully enclosed grounds. There are two integral garages and generous off-road parking with turning area.
