Newly Decorated***Georgian Double Fronted House**Sought After Area of Hampton-in-Arden***Available Now

This original Georgian double-fronted house, combines a classical Georgian layout and orginal features with the very best of contemporary living. A high specification property, it stands in beautiful Victorian cottage gardens conveniently placed in the very heart of Hampton in Arden. Renovated to an exceptional standard while retaining classic features, interior designed and newly restored in Farrow and Ball period colours, the property is ready to move into now with every amenity and is sold with no chain. Built as the Master House of a small group of cottages, it offers unexpectedly spacious and charming accommodation with three double bedrooms, both a bathroom and shower room, open plan hand made kitchen, original Georgian windows, doors and fireplaces and a tanked and bricked basement cellar.
A lawned and ancient knot garden with its own lamppost stretches to Fentham Road at the rear - a location so well placed within a short walk of village amenities including Hampton's historic church with Norman origins, local shops, stores, primary school, reputable inns and restaurants, railway station, sports and tennis club. Hampton in Arden's railway station is on the Birmingham to Euston London line and junctions 5 and 6 of the local M42 provide rapid access to the Midlands motorway network, centres of commerce and culture, the NEC and International Airport and Railway station.
