Having been in the ownership of the same family since new in 1972, and offered to the market for the first time, the property extends to approximately 2,742 sq ft. The house has been very well maintained and offers superb potential for family buyers seeking to create a long term family home.

The ground floor features a welcoming entrance hall leading to the spacious sitting room with panelled vaulted ceiling, exposed brick fireplace, and sliding doors opening onto the garden. The separate dining room adjoins the bright kitchen/breakfast room, as originally fitted, providing an excellent family space overlooking the garden whilst the delightful sunroom/conservatory gives access onto the south facing walled garden, which is the ideal spot for year-round enjoyment. There is also a utility room and cloakroom.

Situated on the first floor, the large main bedroom which is served by the en suite bathroom, is a particular highlight of the property and is complimented by the four further bedrooms which are also all of generous proportions and served by the family bathroom.

It should be noted that both bathrooms benefit from fabulous period fittings that will be of interest to any purchaser with interest in mid-century decor.

Outside

Approached via a private driveway with gated entrance, the property sits within generous gardens of approximately 0.7 acres. With ample space for entertaining, the grounds are beautifully landscaped with wide expanses of lawn, mature hedging, specimen trees, and a charming Mediterranean style walled courtyard garden as well as a delightful kitchen garden. There is a timber shed and integral double garage as well as generous parking space for numerous vehicles.
