SUMMARY
This special home, with its superbly proportioned rooms and classic period features reflects the solid grandeur of its era, and would certainly satisfy the most ardent lovers of Edwardian architecture. But there is also much for those with more modern tastes to get excited about. The current owners have invested a great deal of time, love and money in this character property to create a timeless home that has everything needed for modern family living. Outside, the south and west facing gardens wrap around the house on three sides, providing a haven for children, pets and gardeners alike. The property would also suit a car or motorbike enthusiast as it boasts a double garage and gated driveway where there is parking for several vehicles and an EV pod charging point.

As such, viewing is highly recommended in order to appreciate all that this wonderful property has to offer.
