The property with its red former post office windows and shop door, cream coloured brick front with red brick quoins and colour washed rendered elevations under a slate roof with many sliding sash windows, makes quite an imposing statement when you first set eyes on it.
Set back off the pavement tall carriage doors open to the long driveway that culminates in the garage and former stable.
A side door leads into a small lobby which has a door to the former post office counter/office whist ahead a fine set of stairs lead to the first floor split level landing/hall, with its former servants/butler calling box in situ, and you now begin to sense the character and history of the building. Off to the left is found a wonderful sitting room with southerly facing windows having a feature gas coal effect fire inset in a fine black marble fireplace surround with tiled insets and pine cupboards to either side. Continue down the hall you enter the breakfast room which could well have been the former kitchen judging by the large arched recess for a range (now housing a non-working floor standing boiler) and floor to ceiling cupboards to one side. A door from here opens into the 17’ split level kitchen having a range of units and work surfaces on four sides with a connecting door leading out into the west facing loggia which, once renovated, would make a lovely spot to al fresco entertain of an evening or just sit and enjoy the setting sun. Steps lead down to the rear.
Coming back into the hall and going up the few steps a bathroom with claw foot roll top bath, wc, wash hand basin, a separate WC and double bedroom are found on the right. Further along is a single bedroom with ornate fireplace built in cupboard and next door is the second sitting room. This is a well proportioned room enjoying an easterly outlook over the square and featuring an open fire grate with cast iron surround, tiled slips all inset in an imposing white marble fireplace and mantel. Stairs with turned spindles and acorn finials lead up to the next floor where there are two more double bedrooms and shower room with WC. From this level another set of stairs lead to an enormous triple aspect bedroom currently set up as a bed/sitting/dressing room and as such works ever so well.

Commercial (can be self contained if required)
The former post office shop is a substantial room being approx. 37’ long by 16’ wide and having almost floor to ceiling windows, suspended ceiling with recess panel light and beyond is the former counter section being approx. 16’ x 8 and having the screens etc still in situ. Beyond is a cloakroom and large kitchen/rest area. As previously mentioned, a door connects to the side entrance.

Basement
This is accessed via its own separate entrance down the side of the drive and a double glazed UPVC door opens into a large room that offers countless possibilities (stp) be it extra accommodation, gym, cinema room or such.

Outside
There is a small outhouse near the back of the property and a substantial garage with former stable adjacent sits at the head of the drive.

Gardens
These could provide a very tranquil space enjoying both a southerly and westerly outlook and are currently neglected. Within is a small pond, terrace, lawns and planting includes camelia, rose, lavender etc.
