Wonderfully presented throughout, this ideal family home has been restored to its current condition to showcase a period décor with true period features throughout - boasting original fireplaces, doors, door furniture and plaster mouldings, period correct mouldings, cast iron column radiators and high end brass sockets and switches to match the period feel. A recently installed combi boiler, double glazed sash and casement windows and insulation throughout the refurbishment, using the latest materials, ensures the house not only looks the part but works to keep running costs at a minimum. Furthermore, insulation has been added in the walls, the roof and between all floors and ceilings, not only in the recently completed extension, but throughout the rest of the main house too!
