EPC: D, Council Tax: G

Tallwood is a fine example of Edwardian splendour with its classic architectural features and still retains much of its original character including its high ceilings, box bays and sash windows, joinery and open fireplaces. The property has been in the loving ownership of our clients for many years and has been a very happy family home with an excellent offering of accommodation for a growing family. Today it would benefit from modernisation and offers magnificent scope to extend and refurbish to create your dream home.

The property is approached from a shingle drive that provides plenty of parking and benefits from a later addition of a detached triple garage. The stunning handcrafted red wooden front door engraved “Tallwood” sets the scene and opens into an impressive reception hall with two defining areas divided by the staircase and retaining a character fireplace which enhances the welcoming feel. The generously proportioned dual aspect, dining room has a box bay window that floods the room with natural light. With high ceilings and picture rails adding to the period charm. To the rear of the property is the main lounge / living room that similarly retains all its period features and has French doors opening onto the garden and a separate door accessing the bright south-facing sun room. Adjoining, is a rear parlour that is currently being used as a snug / family room, a perfect retreat or potential home office with double doors opening to the sun room. The kitchen/breakfast room is located to the front of the property and has a range of base and wall cupboards with provision for freestanding appliances and AGA as well as space for a large dining table for informal dinners. Adjoining the kitchen are a separate cloakroom, large pantry, utility and boot room.

Stairs rise from the entrance hall to a split-level middle landing giving access to three double bedrooms plus the principal bedroom and access to a family bathroom and separate cloakroom. The principal bedroom is a magnificent size and boasts a generous en-suite. A second staircase from the middle landing leads you to the third level boasting a further two double bedrooms with the added potential to further extend and improve, subject to usual planning consents.

The mature rear garden extends to approximately 147'5" with a large patio leading to a lawn bordered by established shrub beds, hedges and a variety of trees including pines and evergreens. While the garden is mature and easily maintained for its size it offers an opportunity for any budding gardeners to design and create something very special with so much space on offer. There is access to the front and back gardens provided from both sides of the property. The front garden is mainly hardstanding for parking but also has a lawn surrounded by high hedges and a central pine tree.
