What the owners says

“Unusually for this area the house has a long and interesting history. Dating back to 1880, when together with its neighbouring property it was the the "Old School house". This partly explains the many quirks and charming features of the property which combine into making it feel very warm and homely. An example being that practically all rooms are on slightly different levels. Being a Victorian home it benetits from very well proportioned rooms with high ceilings, allowing scope for a wide range and choice of different decor and furnishings. I especially like the layout of the ground floor where the different rooms flow seamlessly from one to another and there's an abundance of natural light due to most rooms being dual aspect. The garden is very special for two reasons- On this beautiful road it's probably the only South facing garden and therefore can be a sun trap. Secondly it feels secluded due to the fact that its boundary is not shared at any point with neighbouring gardens. Perhaps most importantly the location of the house is wonderful and the neighbouring residence all very pleasant and friendly.”
