6 bedroom house

A beautifully presented Edwardian home built in 1901. The house retains a wealth of original period features and has benefitted from sympathetic extensions. Many rooms are fitted with solid oak flooring supplied by Machells and the windows, some with their original lead work, are double glazed. The property further benefits from its south facing position on a large plot which extends to approximately 0.5 acres.

The front door opens to a generous reception hall which boasts beautiful original panels, ornate cornicing and a built-in under stairs cupboard. The sitting room faces south and light floods through the large bay window throughout the day. A natural stone fireplace with a log burner, an inset brick back and stone hearth is set back in the room beneath a large arch with built-in cupboards on either side. The dining room provides the perfect setting for formal meals with a large, south facing bay window and a fireplace with a remote-controlled multi-fuel burner.

The fabulous spacious modern kitchen has been designed to be at the heart of the home and is perfect for entertaining with space for a large dining table.
