An elegant, double fronted, 6-bedroom family home, occupying a 2,971 square feet of living space. Grand and classically proportioned rooms featuring coving, original fireplaces, doors and plasterwork, this property has been sympathetically refurbished throughout. This wonderful home is nestled on a wide section of the road, and has the huge benefit of having off street parking. You are welcomed through a wrought iron gate leading up a tiled path to the handsome front door with original ironmongery and stained glass. The front garden has mature planting and a rose garden. The hallway still very much as originally built, is generous, welcoming and has an array of cornicing over the doors leading to the reception rooms. A grand double reception to the right of the property is bright, exquisite and retains an array of original cornicing, marbled fireplaces again with original ironmongery, dado rails, ceiling roses. The sash windows in the large bay sit diametrically across from tall French glass doors with views of the garden. A further reception is to the left of the hallway which is currently used as a study, again original fireplace and features still intact here, this room leads to a well laid out spacious kitchen, leading onto a bright dining room extension, with a downstairs cloakroom leading to the utility room in the basement. Leading upstairs onto the half landing is a small pretty white bathroom again with gorgeous original doors and an airing cupboard/boiler room.

The master bedroom really has the hotel suite feel, a delightful dressing room area leads to a lush ensuite bathroom. There is a further impressively large double bedroom over-looking over the garden with a pretty feature fireplace.
