BACKGROUND
The property was built in 1936 originally as a doctors residence with an accompanying surgery practice and over time segments of land have been sold so the house now benefits from a gated private driveway, set back and tucked away from the road. The house is individual in design, offering well balanced accommodation whilst benefiting from large feature corner windows and balconies to the front of the house with Canadian pine flooring on the ground floor. The current owners have upgraded many parts of the house and have added a two storey rear extension which is incorporated in to the main house but equally could be set as an annexe facility.
