The property dates back well over a hundred years and is subsequently packed full of many period features. A great deal of these were kept and in some cases enhanced when the current owners set about a major refurbishment of the property back in 2007. The sympathetic way in which the property has been improved has created a dwelling that is almost the perfect fusion of the old and the new with a contemporary finish and feel. Light and space are evident throughout the three reception rooms and the kitchen diner where strategically placed light tunnels give the room a spacious and bright appearance. To the first floor there are four well proportioned bedrooms, the master has its own dressing room as well as en-suite shower room. The other three bedrooms are served by the well appointed family bathroom. Externally is where the property begins to come into its own. To the front there is a raised front garden, an ornamental wall separates the garden from the lane. There are established well manicured trees, shrubs and bushes throughout the frontage giving it a mature appearance. To one side of the property is a pedestrian passage way whilst to the other is an attractive block paved driveway affording multiple vehicle off road parking. A generous detached garage offers additional parking, there is power and lighting within as well as a courtesy door giving direct access to the rear garden. The current owners are avid gardeners and this is evident through out the immaculately kept grounds. The rear gardens are split into two distinct areas. The first area which is adjacent to the house, begins with an Indian sandstone patio, an ornamental wall divides the patio from the lawn which is reached by sandstone steps. Their are mature ornamental trees, bushes and hedging which border the lawn, a creeper covered gazebo covers a secret patio area ideal for alfresco dining. A wrought iron gate opens up to the second area of garden where the property's pool can be found. The pool which measures in at approximately 28ft x 18ft is heated and has an accompanying pool house with power and light. There is an additional area of garden to the side of the pool, which again is well stocked with mature trees and bushes.
