Langford Russell are pleased to present this Impressive six/seven-bedroom Georgian, Grade II listed, detached property dating back to around 1822.

Entry to the property is via the portico porch and through the front door into a grand entrance hall with polished wooden floor. The house retains many of the original features, character and charm including all the original fireplaces throughout, high ceilings with ceiling plaster decoration in the dining and reception rooms, picture rails and dado rails. Both dining and reception rooms have French doors to the rear garden with the original shutters in situ.

The conservatory, which is used as a gym has a zinc roof thereby regulating the temperature in both hotter and colder months and the glass has been replaced with double glazed units and heat retention glass panels for fuel economy. The property benefits from all mains services and Gas Central Heating. The existing owners have undertaken a comprehensive restoration modernisation and ongoing maintenance programme during their ownership and the property is beautifully presented. There are two downstairs cloakrooms and a cellar.

The snug / reading room has been recently redecorated in mellow relaxing shades. The kitchen and large utility room have been reworked and modernised with granite worktops, high end appliances and porcelain floor tiles, hot water tap and pop-up worktop plugs. The downstairs office and adjacent cloakroom could easily be reorganised to provide a downstairs bedroom and ensuite for an elderly relative or as a home workplace.

The master bedroom has a large ensuite with bath, shower, double wash basins, a bidet and toilet. The guest bedroom has a shower room ensuite. There are 5 further bedrooms two of them have their own shower and sink. The family bathroom has been recently refurbished and features a cast iron roll-top bath with chrome floor mounted taps.

The rear garden is laid mostly to lawn with well established borders. There is a formal rose garden well stocked with a variety of roses. There is an extra large garden shed and large greenhouse, raised flower bed as well as a patio and decking areas.

To the front is a sweeping gravel drive leading round to a double garage with up and over electric doors. The garage has a vehicle inspection pit and outside electric points for convenience.

The property has immediate “wow” factor and lends itself to perfect family living with space to work from home and even accommodate multi-generation living as some of the upper floor rooms can be sectioned off to provide a private area for adult children or older relatives. The garden is perfect for family fun or for fabulous garden parties. There is plenty of space to accommodate a summer house.
