GENERAL
Could this be your forever home? On the market for the first time in 50 years, this much-loved family home provides just over 1500 square feet of living accommodation in its current configuration - with the potential to extend into the loft space if desired, as many of the neighbouring houses have done (STPP). Currently, the property comprises: a rain porch, hallway, lounge, dining room, breakfast kitchen, utility room, guest WC and a pantry to the ground floor. On the first floor are four double bedrooms and a family bathroom with a separate shower cubicle. The property retains many charming features, which include wood panelling, a stain-glass porthole window, plate racks, original internal doors with Bakelite handles - and there is even a nod to the past in the form of the original servants call box located in the kitchen. There are gardens to the front and rear, plus a long driveway leading to a detached garage. Already benefiting from gas central heating and uPVC double-glazing, we expect some buyers may wish to upgrade the current fixtures and fittings to suit individual tastes; and of course there is scope to combine the breakfast kitchen with the adjacent dining room ideal for modern day living. This is a great opportunity to purchase a well-proportioned home in a very desirable location, and AN INTERNAL VIEWING IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
