Rich in period charm, the house retains a wealth of original features throughout, reflecting the character and craftsmanship of the Victorian era. The spacious accommodation is arranged over three floors, offering flexibility for a range of living arrangements and lifestyles. A particularly appealing feature is the private access to both the lower ground and upper ground floor from the front of the property, enhancing the adaptability of the space. To the rear, the generous south-facing garden enjoys an abundance of natural light throughout the day and is laid mainly to lawn, providing an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining, family use, or further landscaping potential. Coming to the market for the first time in over 40 years, this much-loved property has served both as a cherished family home and, in more recent years, as a successful investment HMO. Rarely do properties with such character, flexibility, and long-term potential become available.
