Having remained within the same family for several decades, Durham House is a prime, substantial family home sitting on a generous plot of around 1/2 an acre. Ripe to make the forever home, this property has so much potential to become stately like. Beautiful period cast and tiled fire places are featured to 2 of the reception rooms, providing stunning focal points you could imagine the original covings and ceiling rose that would bring back the original period features.

Having been extended to create 3 reception rooms, 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms there's also cellars and basements to the lower garden level that could potentially be converted for additional living space if required. Upvc double glazed windows are installed to most rooms heating is via a Baxi combination boiler was installed around 2- 3 years ago. All 4 bedrooms and both bathrooms are accessed via the lengthy 1st floor landing. All 4 bedrooms are generous sizes with ample space to potentially incorporate en-suite facilities.

Externally the side and rear gardens are substantial. Gated access to the side leads to a driveway sweeping down to the rear gardens. Ample space is available for potentially developing the property and land further (planning permission required) which does make Durham House such an appealing opportunity.
