Description

In 1868 it was acquired by Thomas Prickett, owner of the adjoining Hall, as a 'Dower House' for his widow. In the Victorian Era various alterations were carried out and the Outbuildings/Stables erected at the rear.Used as a nurses home for the adjacent Avenue Hospital (now converted to flats) before being purchased by the present owners in 1983 since when it has been upgraded, Georgian features reinstated and the Outbuildings converted into a separate living unit.The property now offers superb family living accommodation with large South facing gardens, potential granny flat/letting income and MUST BE VIEWED INTERNALLY TO APPRECIATE.
