Description - This distinguished and impressive residence was designed in 1934 and constructed shortly thereafter by well-regarded local builders Margrett and Gloyne, and is now being offered to the market with no onward chain for the first time in over 35 years. Of robust construction, the house can be characterised as having large, bright rooms which have retained a good degree of their original character, and which are now in need of some general modernisation. The property could also offer the opportunity to remodel or extend, either upwards or outwards, subject to any necessary consents or approvals. Occupying a part-walled plot of approximately 0.33 acres, the house is nicely set back from the road and benefits from some very well-maintained and well-proportioned gardens, suitable for large and active families and keen horticulturists. In addition, there is an attached double garage and a gated driveway providing off-road parking. This is a captivating opportunity to acquire an individual home with considerable scope, in a highly sought-after area.

Accommodation - The house is entered via a canopied porch leading into a spacious central hallway. To one side is a large dual-aspect sitting room centred on a stone and timber fireplace with a gas fire, opening into a generous triple-aspect sun lounge with two sets of doors to the rear garden. Opposite, the kitchen offers a good range of cabinets with roll-edge worktops, a 1.5-bowl sink, space for a gas cooker and an under-counter fridge. A separate utility room provides laundry appliance space and side access to the garden. Adjacent is a dual-aspect dining room overlooking the garden, complete with a serving hatch, while the ground floor also includes a study and cloakroom.

Upstairs, a galleried landing leads to four double bedrooms and a fully tiled family bathroom with P-shaped bath, Mira electric shower, large vanity unit and concealed-cistern WC. The principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect, triple fitted wardrobes and an en-suite washroom; the second bedroom also features fitted wardrobes and a vanity unit. The remaining bedrooms overlook the rear garden. There is access to a substantial vaulted loft with power, lighting, partial boarding, insulation and a felted roof, offering potential for conversion, subject to any necessary consents.

Outside - The property is approached via a gated tarmac driveway providing ample parking and turning space, flanked by well-kept lawns and mature, colourful borders. The rear garden, accessible from both sides of the house, is mainly laid to lawn with an area featuring three apple trees and additional planting. A generous paved terrace runs either side of the sun lounge, complemented by outbuildings including a 6ft x 4ft greenhouse, timber summerhouse, shed, and tool store/workshop. Completing the outside space is an attached double garage with power, lighting, twin doors, and overhead storage.
