Built in 1911 and retaining many of its original features, the current owners undertook an extensive renovation in 2013 and substantially extended to the rear of the property in 2016. Little expense was spared augmenting the property’s original Edwardian features with modern technology and fittings including: a fabulous hallway with stained glass entrance door; four huge bay windows; functioning open fireplaces; tall ceilings and stripped floor boards; a new roof; and completely new electrical, heating and plumbing systems throughout.

The house now boasts 2575 square feet over a layout that lends itself extremely well to modern day living.  The four spacious double bedrooms allow ample room for bedroom furniture while maintaining easy access around an uncluttered room.  The master bedroom boasts an en-suite whilst two other bedrooms share a ‘Jack and Jill’ bathroom.  There is an additional family bathroom with a large roll top cast-iron bath and separate shower.   

Downstairs offers four large reception rooms allowing plenty of space for the entire family to enjoy.  A kitchen, with adjoining garden room and bi-folding doors to the large patio, provides the space for informal get togethers around the island and makes for easy outdoor entertaining.  The dining room, with working fireplace, provides for an amazing setting in which to host a spectacular diner party.  The ground floor is finished off with a large family room and a cosy living room to retreat to, also with working open fire.

The professionally landscaped garden is near-south facing and captures sun for most of the day; whilst very large for a house so near to the centre of town, there is plenty of interest and features within it.  If you like to tinker or are possibly a bit crafty then the large timber workshop/summer house with power is just for you and forms part of the property’s significant outdoor storage offering alongside a potting shed (with power and sink) and a second timber shed currently used to store gardening equipment.

The property is located close to the town allowing easy access to Ashford's excellent rail links with the international station only a brisk 15-minute walk away.   There is a high-speed train line to St Pancras (37 minutes) alongside regular services to Charing Cross, Victoria and Cannon Street. Two Primary schools, St Teresas and St Marys are very close by as is Highworth Grammar School for Girls. The boy's grammar and the North School are an approximate 20-minute walk away.
