A fine example of a Victorian Detached Villa dating back to 1894. Sympathetically restored to its former glory retaining many original features including: Imposing front door, ornate tiled entrance vestibule and hallway. Stain glass windows in the vestibule door, ceiling coving, picture rails and central ceiling roses to name but a few! The accommodation briefly comprises: Entrance vestibule, hallway, lounge, dining room, dining kitchen, garden room, wc, ground floor bedroom (or further reception room), utility room and wood store. To the first floor are three double bedrooms, dressing room, study and house bathroom. Outside is a detached garage, driveway, gardens to all sides of the property and approx. 1 acre of copse & ‘scrub land’ that is mainly planted with trees, this could be cleared and utilised as an extension for the current garden, forming a secluded lawn or play area for children. The property which is of stone and slate roof construction, has outstanding views from most of the windows with far reaching views over open countryside and beyond.
