The main house has a substantial drawing room overlooking the south-facing garden. This has an elegant fireplace and could easily accommodate a very large extended family at Christmas. It looks out onto the garden through bow-fronted windows. There are doors opening into the garden from the drawing room, adding an additional bonus to the whole experience. There is space for a conservatory on the back, leading from the drawing room, if required. Planning permission has successfully been sought for this purpose although, due to circumstances, this was never realised. A mature, private garden, laid to lawn, equipped with greenhouse, terracing and patio, faces south. The buyer will be able to make the best of our English summer's sunshine in this peaceful sanctuary with family and friends.
There is a large formal dining room which has been divided at some stage into two in the main house, and the rear has been made into a ground floor bedroom. In its heyday, it would have extended into 57 Galgate through two doorways that are now bookcases. Equally Caroline Grove also once had a coach house where there is now 59B Galgate. So without doubt, it is a house that is full of intrigue. A viewing is an absolute must, to fully appreciate the character of the property being described. There are many original features remaining including the large cellar. This is ideal for storage or being used as a workshop,

As well as being in a great location, the town and surrounding area offer a rich lifestyle.
