Description This impressive and much loved character residence sits within a generous plot of just over 0.26 of an acre, set well back from the road and approached via a sweeping driveway bordered by a beautifully planted garden, creating an immediate sense of privacy and charm.
Typical of its era, the house has been thoughtfully designed to maximise natural light and solar gain, with the principal reception rooms and main bedroom all enjoying a favourable southerly aspect.
The accommodation is both extensive and versatile. A grand reception hall leads through to a spacious dual aspect sitting room, formal dining room and a fitted kitchen/breakfast room. The ground floor continues to impress with a further lounge, two bathrooms, a bedroom/reading room with adjoining study, and a cosy snug which in turn leads to a utility room. From here there is a blocked doorway linking to the kitchen of the adjoining 'Piggy House', currently accessed independently via its own front door.
The first floor of the main house provides four additional bedrooms, including one with an en suite WC, along with a shower room and separate cloakroom.
