SUMMARY

Grade II Listed, this beautiful period property, with its picture perfect Georgian frontage and roses round the door, has been sympathetically extended both in Victorian times and by the current owners, and now offers someone the chance to purchase a very special family home, both inside and out. Adults, children and pets alike will want to spend as much time as possible outside in the warmer months relishing the lovely mature gardens, while in the colder months, they will be equally happy to cosy up indoors in the wonderful sitting room with its stunning inglenook fireplace and wood burner. The house is set back behind high hedging in a slightly elevated position and is approached over an “in and out” driveway where there is a plentiful off-street parking in front of a detached double garage.

Outside

The property is approached over an "in and out" gravel drive where there is parking for a number of cars in front of the detached Double Garage. The house itself sits in an elevated, very private position behind a mature bank of hedging, and unless you venture up the path to it, you really wouldn't know it was there. The beautiful mature gardens, which are completely in harmony with the feel of the property, wrap around it and provide different areas for sitting, dining, relaxation and play. A particular feature is a large grassed flat area tucked away at the top of the garden, perfect for lively children who want to play ball games.
