Part of our Signature collection, this unique detached period property offers substantial accommodation totalling 3,900 sq ft. There is a 4 bedroom house with 2 bedroom wing on a delightful plot of 1.25 acres, providing potential for multigenerational living.


The original house ‘The Towers’ retains a wealth of charm and character with original fireplaces, high ceilings, cornicing and attractive decorative ceilings - and of course the tower. The property was substantially extended around 10 years ago with the addition of a 2 double bedroom wing with its own entrance hall, sitting room, study, conservatory, kitchen/breakfast room, utility and cloakroom.

The main entrance hall has a stair flight leading to the first floor within the new wing and has attractive pattern tiled flooring. Double doors lead through to the wonderful sitting room which features a window seat, fireplace and oak flooring. Double doors open into the conservatory with further doors leading to the garden and there is also a study with oak flooring.

The kitchen/breakfast room has a glass roof canopy allowing plenty of light, with space for a large table, granite worksurfaces and ample storage cupboards, with one containing the gas fired boiler and underfloor manifolds. Appliances include two ovens, 5 ring gas hob with extractor above, integral dishwasher, microwave and drinks fridge, with space for a fridge/freezer. A door leads through to the utility area which has storage cupboards and a sink, with a door through to the cloakroom. From the staircase in the hall is a large landing with Velux windows and two double bedrooms, with the back bedroom benefitting from ensuite facilities. The bedrooms have a stud wall between them as it was originally built as one room.

The original house is accessible from the entrance hall and has a reception hall with cast iron fireplace, dado and picture rail and flows through to the original entrance with tiled flooring and staircase to the first floor. The stunning drawing room features a tower window in the corner, pine flooring, ornate fireplace and other decorative features, in particular the ornate ceiling. The family room also has pine flooring, an ornate ceiling and a closed fireplace. At the rear of the property is a studio with French doors leading out to the garden, which is accessed via the kitchen/breakfast room.

The kitchen is beautifully appointed with worksurfaces and ample storage cupboards, with one housing the gas boiler. There is a built-in microwave, space for a range cooker with light and extractor above, space for a fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. Windows overlook the rear garden whilst a door leads to the outside. Finally on the ground floor is a bathroom with oval bath, marble topped vanity unit with two wash basins and a wc.

The first floor landing has part panelled walls and access to the roof space. There is a large family bathroom with an airing cupboard in the corner and a separate shower room. To the front of the property are two double bedrooms, the largest of which features the tower window. At the centre of the house is a sitting room with two light tunnels which also has a door through to the new wing and provides access to the two double bedrooms that look out over the rear garden.
