At one time, this stunning home was in the Spencer family, owned by the late Princess of Wales’ great grandfather. The original dwelling was extended to the side in the 1940’`s and to the rear in 1983 to create a wonderful family home. There are few properties dating back to the 17th century still available in Coombe and Tudor Cottage offers character and charm in abundance.

The property

This fine property was the subject of extensive refurbishments by the current owner to include re-wiring and re-plumbing, with a Megaflow system and Vaillant boiler. The radiators are all new cast iron radiators, in keeping with the style of the property. The leaded light windows have all been lovingly restored and the flooring to the entrance hall and principal reception rooms is now French Oak, laid out in a herringbone design. The roof has been fully insulated and there is an alarm system and CCTV.

No expense was spared to restore this property to its rightful glory and it additionally benefits from a new kitchen and bathrooms,redecoration throughout and new carpeting to the bedrooms,
stairs and landing.
