Within the catchment areas for the prestigious Corpus Christi and Sudbourne Schools, this expansive home offers an exciting opportunity for the purchaser to make it their own, bringing to life the many wonderful features. A great community in the area and friendly neighbours further elevate the appeal of this impressive family home.

A rare offering measuring almost 4,000 square feet, this huge property currently boasts four reception rooms, a separate kitchen, eight bedrooms, three bathrooms and two WCs, plus a wrap-around garden with gates leading to a garage and a large loft space plus two-room cellar.

Arranged over the ground floor are four reception rooms, three of which feature characterful bay windows, a kitchen to the rear overlooking the garden and a bathroom plus cloakroom WC upon entry. With a bathroom to service each level, eight double bedrooms are split over the first and second floors with the potential to combine some of these rooms to create impressive suites with walk-in wardrobes and en-suites, and still have enough bedrooms left over to repurpose some to suit further needs, such as home offices, gyms or studios. Aiding refurbishment, there is plumbing in place in many points of the house.

Precedent has been set should the purchaser wish to seek permissions to extend into the loft, further increasing the footprint of this already gargantuan house. There is also a cellar with two-rooms, ideal for storage or conversion into a utility room.
