We think the original part of this DETACHED RESIDENCE dates back to the early 1800’s if not the previous century, with possibly Georgian but certainly Victorian, additions resulting in this spacious and

quite grand family home. The dining room's 2’ thick walls and original fireplace are reminiscent of a working artisan home around the turn of the 19th century, yet the formal drawing room and fireplace is

clearly an addition of some opulence consistent with the financial success of a Victorian Gentleman; the two offices on the mezzanine have their own access and were at one time a doctor’s Waiting and

Consulting Rooms. Today, this double fronted home has gas central heating and modern conveniences one would expect, yet there remains much of the character of bygone eras. Set within a generous

garden plot, on various levels, with lawns, vegetable plots, mature established shrubbery and trees, the elevated situation ensures privacy from passing traffic and pedestrians whilst offering plenty of natural

light despite the wooded environment. There is a double garage with parking to the front of the garages, with a formal right of way over the drive in/drive out access road of the neighbouring Trefoil Girl Guide Centre (which has limited opening hours).VIEWING ESSENTIAL TO APPRECIATE THE SPACE AND

OUTSIDE There are gardens to three sides of the property which comprise a mix of lawns, flowering beds and borders, mature trees and shrubbery, vegetable plots, fruit trees including cherry, crab apple, hazel and damson, patio area, garden shed and greenhouse.
