The double-fronted, particularly handsome fa?ade reflects the Georgian era, featuring a central front door and symmetrically placed Mumford & Wood sash windows.

Internally, there is almost 2,700 sq. ft. of elegant accommodation, thoughtfully designed to present characterful features such as ceiling cornicing, panelled doors, and an elegant central staircase with intricate balustrade. The current owners, with an eye for detail, have significantly enhanced the home with Smallbone joinery and artistic interior design.

To the rear of the property is a beautifully appointed kitchen/breakfast room, reconfigured and opened up to create a sociable family space, with the dining area partially open to the kitchen.

The bespoke Smallbone solid wood units are finished with granite worktops and incorporate all main appliances while providing ample storage. The kitchen is further complemented by a well-equipped utility room.

Attractive garden views can be admired from the dining area, where French doors lead to a brick-paved terrace.
