4 bedroom detached house for sale

A substantial detached Edwardian family residence of individual charm and character atmosphere standing in approximately 0.85 of an acre of mature semi wooded gardens, the majority of which are laid to lawn, and are south facing, with an equally substantial area of lawned ‘paddock’ lying to the west of the property.
