Now, let's talk a little bit about the property itself.


Built in the early 1900s, this home has been thoughtfully upgraded throughout, blending modern convenience with its original charm.

So, what makes this property stand out? First, the plot—over half an acre—with a dual-access driveway and extensive front and rear gardens. From the outside, the home appears understated, but step inside and you'll discover its impressive scale: 233 sqm spread across three floors.

Ground & First Floors


The ground floor offers generous living space, including:

A grand hallway

A spacious new kitchen-diner

A large living room with high ceilings

A downstairs bedroom with a brand-new ensuite shower room

A newly fitted cloakroom

A beautiful stained-glass window highlights the staircase to the first-floor landing. Upstairs, you'll find four double bedrooms—one with a new ensuite shower room, three with ensuite toilets and sinks—plus a modern family bathroom. The layout is both practical and versatile, rarely matched for its balance of space and design.

Upgrades Completed


The current vendor has already carried out major improvements, including new electrics, upgraded radiators and plumbing where required, and the addition of multiple ensuites—making this home ideal for large families, growing households, multi-generational living or it even has planning consent for operation as a children's care home, subject to change of use.

Lower Ground Floor


Here's where things get exciting. The lower ground floor currently includes a twin-door garage, three storage rooms, and a former kitchen. With the right consents, this level could be transformed into:

A spacious self-contained annexe

A holiday let

Outside


The house sits centrally within its plot, with large front and rear gardens, established borders, and parking for at least ten cars via a double-entrance driveway. The gardens are neatly presented but offer huge potential—a blank canvas for keen gardeners. With the right permissions, there's ample space to add a detached garage or even a second dwelling.
