Property description

Kelvin House, built in the 1860's, was once part of the Woodlands Estate which was the home of Ferdinando Jackson, a local Mill owner. It was a grand house set in approximately 7 acres with views to the Hollins and large south facing gardens. In 1948 much of the land was sold off and Woodlands House was divided to create two distinctive semi detached homes. Kelvin House has been extended and upgraded over the years to provide beautifully proportioned accommodation and a lovely family home. On the ground floor there is an impressive hall, cloakroom, lounge, splendid dining room and a 31' dining kitchen with double doors to the garden whilst to the first floor there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms. A spiral staircase provides access to the second floor and the original servants' quarters where four additional rooms provide flexible ancillary accommodation which are presently utilised as a family room, games room with a pool table, dressing room and laundry. There are open fires to the two main reception rooms and there is the benefit of gas fired central heating. To the side of the property and separated by a courtyard there is an Annex which has been let for a good number of years on a shorthold tenancy deriving a gross income of £4,800 pa but could also provide granny/teenage accommodation. In addition there is a garage which has been divided to create a store room and utility. Kelvin House stands within an large plot which is screened from the road behind mature evergreens including hollies and rhododendrons. The deep lawned gardens to the rear have walled and hedge borders and are split by a yew hedge which probably dates back to the time the house was built. To the rear boundary there is the original potting shed.
