5 bedroom house

Internally the property has been fortunate to retain a lot of original character such as oak strip flooring, skirting and architraves, wonderful panelling to the dining room and an inglenook style fireplace to the impressive drawing room. It has also retained the sought-after cast iron radiators which still have the original valves together with brass light switches, and the servant's bell system is still in working order.

The recessed porch with large oak door gives way to an impressive reception hall which leads on into the spacious drawing room with bay window and wide inglenook style fire recess. Opposite is a panelled dining room whilst to the rear is a very pleasant snug.

A wonderful oak staircase leads off with barley twist balustrade and half landing having large picture window flooding in light together with an interesting wrought iron feature. Below the stairs is a cloakroom and WC.

In the far right corner, the breakfast kitchen lends itself to further refurbishment with a fireplace housing the solid fuel range together with some base and wall units whilst there is a spacious walk-in pantry with shelves and a separate utility room all of which could be incorporated into a new kitchen design if desired.
To the rear, a door leads from the utility to a covered passageway with doors either side to the garden, and this also gives access to the interesting cellar that houses the boiler and central heating system together with an outside WC, coal house and access connecting to the large garage (5.58m x 4.34m) which has power, water and light.

To the first floor is a very spacious split level galleried landing with, as before mentioned, oak barley twist balustrade and wrought iron feature, together with a half landing with large picture window to the rear affording extensive views. Bedroom five is accessed off the half landing with a wash hand basin and useful built-in storage.

From the main landing, there are four excellent principal bedrooms, two at the front with cant bay windows affording views, one of which has an en suite bathroom facility.
There is a large walk-in airing cupboard and modern shower room with tiled shower, glazed screen, wash hand basin and WC, and a separate cloakroom with wash hand basin and WC.

The property sits in a wonderful mature plot of 0.63 acres, set back from the road and approached via a gated driveway with excellent parking and turning space, giving access to the garage. There are lawns and gardens to the front, side and rear in addition to a further deep side garden, formerly housing a large greenhouse and pathways leading to a lower garden, somewhat overgrown but offering fabulous potential.
