Talwrn Farm is a handsome double-fronted period family home offering over 2,700 sq ft of generously proportioned accommodation arranged across two floors.

The accommodation flows from a vaulted porch into a welcoming reception hall with useful storage and a door leading to a rear hall, currently used as a utility room, featuring quarry-tiled flooring and garden access. It comprises a 28 ft dual-aspect drawing room with a feature cast iron open fireplace, alongside a front-aspect dining room with exposed wooden flooring, a striking exposed brick open fireplace, and a serving hatch to the adjoining kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen provides a range of wooden wall and base
units, complementary work surfaces, an exposed brick chimney breast with a cast iron range, modern integrated appliances, and space for a good-sized table for informal dining. The ground floor accommodation is completed by an L-shaped office accessed via the rear hall. On the part-vaulted first floor, the property offers a front-aspect principal bedroom with an en suite shower room, four further well-proportioned double bedrooms, and a wooden floored family bathroom.

The well-maintained formal garden surrounding the property on three sides is laid mainly to level lawn bordered by well-stocked flower and shrub beds and to the rear features a walled block-paved and gravelled courtyard accessible from the rear porch, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining and giving access to an integral fitted utility room.
