This attractive double fronted Georgian Period house was built circa 1800 and as well as a number of features in keeping with its age, has the additional attraction of lovely mature grounds extending in total to around 0.3 acre that are aptly described as a gardener's delight. The well proportioned accommodation within the house, which offers scope for updating, includes three double bedrooms and a single bedroom/nursery, as well as a bathroom and en-suite bathroom to the main bedroom. On the ground floor, three large reception rooms are complemented by a kitchen and conservatory.
The wide frontage provides not only a sizeable front garden, but also a long gravel drive that arrives at an open car port for two vehicles. The rear garden extends to approximately 175ft and has been tended with a great deal of care and thought over many years, culminating in a mature space full of variety, colour and interest as well as a productive vegetable patch and numerous fruiting trees. In addition to a summer house and greenhouse, there is a large brick outbuilding that lends itself to a variety of uses such as a studio, garden room or home office. This is a rare opportunity for a buyer to acquire a long term family home that can be refurbished and remodelled to their own specification and needs and as such we strongly urge an appointment to view. The Energy Performance Rating is E - 54.

Outside
The house is approached via double wrought iron gates and a wide entrance onto a long and sweeping gravel driveway. It is immediately clear the degree of privacy and shelter offered by the gardens surrounding this house. The driveway itself allows space for a large number of vehicles. The front gardens sits behind a brick wall and has a plethora of screening provided by mature trees, bushes and conifers. To either side of the driveway are wide and very well filled flowerbeds with an abundance of plants and shrubs. Immediately to the front of the property is a large shaped area again with well stocked surrounding flowerbeds. A paved path leads to the front door whilst a continuation of the gravel drive leads to the back garden. The back garden is undoubtedly one of the features of this property and it is abundantly clear it has been the object of an enormous amount of time and cultivation over a number of years. The list of plants and flowers planted within the shaped borders is too long to name individually but allows for all year round colour and interest. To the immediate rear of the house and accessed from the conservatory is a large brick block paved patio area with patterned bricks and surrounding borders. A long lawn with a stepping stone pathway leads to the end of the garden and on the way a second patio seating area can be found. This is enclosed by trellis with climbing roses and there is a fruiting plum tree. There is a raised rockery with a number of heathers. Halfway along the garden is a lovely sized vegetable plot with a number of fruit beds and plenty of space for someone to cultivate their own produce. There are raspberry canes and blackcurrants and at the rear of the garden a number of fruiting apple trees. Within the vegetable area there is a greenhouse and beyond this a timber summerhouse with a covered verandah. The rear of the garden has a second area of lawn that is enclosed by timber panel fencing to its boundaries. Within the lawn is a central circular heather bed. Other fruiting trees include pears and cherries and there is a WC for use while in the garden.
