A unique and exciting opportunity to purchase this stunning seven bedroom detached home, which is nestled in approximately 4.34 acres of land or thereabouts. The land consists of an adjacent paddock, with gated access from the Ashbourne Road, mature well stocked gardens, which includes two lawn areas, with the front lawn being a former grass tennis court. Substantial and private driveway from the Ashbourne Road, sizeable parking area to the rear, two garages and timber outbuilding. The property was constructed in 1916 and was commissioned by 'The Ward' family, who were local mill owners. The property has only been occupied by three owners since its construction and today offers so much potential, privacy and excellent views. The design incorporates exceptional architecture, with two turret like structures to the frontage and characterful features throughout. The features in part include, beautiful cornicing, parquet floors, original fireplaces, sash windows and much more!

Three reception rooms are located from the hallway, with the drawing and dining room being identical rooms in proportion plus cloakroom.

The third room is referred to as the gun room, this 20ft room is currently used for storage, but is a versatile space. Also located off the hallway is a cloakroom and WC. The kitchen has a range of base units, houses the gas fired boiler, but has ample room to incorporate a breakfast island. A useful utility and pantry room offer excellent storage, with room for washing/drying equipment and access to the cellar, a room which is ideal for storing wine. A passage from the kitchen takes you through to the scullery, storage room and integral garage with WC.
