This four double bedroom Victorian home is over 1,643 square feet that unfolds over three floors and has great potential to extend into the loft and to the rear (Subject to the usual planning consents). The large, secluded garden also has great scope to landscape and create a wonderfully private outdoor space.

The Outdoors -
