DESCRIPTION
This unique period house has been the subject of an extensive programme of repair and refurbishment for the current owners in recent years who have completed the project to a high standard with meticulous attention to every detail.
Set beneath a "Mansard" roof, the handsome ragstone façade incorporates a pretty entrance door with astragal glazed fanlight above opening to an entrance hall which leads to the utility room and to the dual aspect sitting room with parquet flooring and cosy wood burning stove. Beyond this is the study. The first floor comprises a dining room beyond which is the sleek modern kitchen leading to the garden room which unites the space with the garden. There is also a bedroom and a shower room. The second floor comprises two double bedrooms and a shower room.
The house enjoys a pretty courtyard garden with steps ascending to the main garden which is delightfully secluded with mature planting affording a great deal of privacy making it the perfect environment for alfresco dining and entertaining. In addition, the house enjoys the unusual advantage of a generously sized garage just along the road, a distinct benefit in this prime central location.
For room sizes please refer to the floor plan.
