5 bedroom house

This superb period home was built in 1923 and enjoys a large plot, with a width of 50 feet and a private rear garden measuring 105 feet. The house is set well back off the road with extensive parking and much space and scope to extend to the side and rear. One could also convert the detached two-storey garage to an annexe or ancillary accommodation (all subject to planning permission).
