5 bedroom house for sale

A superb five-bedroom, wider-than-average Edwardian family house situated on a popular residential street between the commons. The accommodation measures approximately 1,923 sq ft and has a great sense of natural light and space, retaining plenty of original period features and excellent proportions in all the principal rooms, with the added benefit of double glazed windows and doors throughout.

The front door opens to a light and airy entrance hall with stunning tiled floor. The elegant reception room is set to the front of the house with a striking feature fireplace, bespoke cabinetry and shelving flanking the chimney breast, high ceilings and a large square bay window which floods the room with light.
