The Property - Noted as 'a building of local interest', this very attractive double fronted Edwardian detached house stands back from the road in a fine plot of over a fifth of an acre and provides tremendous scope to extend, subject to any necessary planning consents. Indeed, the property deserves such an extension, which would greatly enhance its already considerable qualities. At present, there are two reception rooms, kitchen, rear lobby, shower room and separate WC on the ground floor, with three double bedrooms on the first.

Of solid brick construction under a slate roof, the house benefits from uPVC double-glazed windows and gas fired central heating.

The Outside - The plot extends to 0.22 acre, measuring approximately 153' by 67' (46.7m x 20.5m) overall. The walled front garden is laid to lawn with wrought iron gates to the path to the front door and to the driveway, which provides off-street parking and leads to the detached garage.

The rear garden is some 93' (28.3m) in length and although the gardens are somewhat overgrown at present, it is clear that some very attractive features were once present and the gardens could be restored to be a delightful feature of the property. There were lawns and herbaceous beds and borders and ornamental conifers, holly, bamboo, monkey puzzle and a mature maple remain. Garden sheds and metal framed greenhouse.
