5 bedroom detached house for sale

A beautifully presented and tastefully styled 1930’s detached home approaching 2400 square feet of well planned accommodation, over 3 floors.

There are some wonderful original features, sitting alongside more modern styling, to include restored wooden floors and stripped wooden doors, decorated fireplaces, comforting log burner, picture rails, stain glass windows, and bay windows.

The kitchen is set at the heart of the home and has extensive storage units, cupboards and drawers with block wooden worktops over and fitted with appliances.

The dining room leads to a side decked area for seating and then down to a larger deck that runs the width of the home. This space is excellent for dining and entertaining. Beyond this is a large lawned garden with storage shed and more natural area alongside.
