The property has been scrupulously maintained over the years to a high standard yet having retained all original features of the property when built including original fireplaces, coving, original internal doors and furniture. This is a family house with excellent spacious rooms laid out over three floors. The property is considered to be in very good order although some updating might be considered appropriate.
