EXCITING RENOVATION PROJECT. All offers considered to reflect works to be done. Semi-detached character property on a 0.84 acre plot. The once elegant Georgian façade, festooned in wisteria, with echoes of a bygone era, hints at the spacious six-bedroom interior and hides the once spectacular and productive formal, wildlife and kitchen gardens beyond with garage/workshop and greenhouse.

EXCITING RENOVATION PROJECT. The once elegant Georgian façade, festooned in wisteria, with echoes of a bygone era, hints at the spacious six-bedroom interior and hides the once spectacular and productive formal, wildlife and kitchen gardens beyond with garage/workshop and greenhouse.

This well-loved, warm and welcoming semi-detached home awaits a new lease of life and offers huge potential for anyone excited by a project. It sits on a surprisingly extensive plot which encompasses a large, walled kitchen garden with a greenhouse; a driveway which sweeps down to mature, formal gardens and a large single storey garage/workshop; and a wildlife garden with a pond.

The main reception rooms are at the front of the house with 16-pane sash windows, lovely wooden parquet flooring connecting the sitting room through glass doors to the dining room, and feature fireplaces at the far end of each room. Beyond the sitting room is a smaller reception room which is currently a study. The kitchen is fitted with a range of ‘farmhouse’ style wall and base units with wooden doors and contrasting pale coloured worksurfaces. The units house a dishwasher, an electric double oven and electric hob, and there is ample space for a kitchen table and a dresser. Further storage, space and plumbing for other appliances can be found in the adjoining utility room. The ground floor is also home to a bathroom. The six bedrooms are upstairs, five are large double bedrooms and the sixth is a large single room. No two bedrooms are the same, each has its own unique style and design. The principal bedroom benefits from a bank of fitted wardrobes with hidden access to a ‘Jack and Jill’ family bath and shower room. Two further double bedrooms are fitted with showers and wash-hand basins within the rooms. The three other bedrooms share the ‘Jack and Jill’ bathroom with the principal suite. All of the bedrooms benefit from 16-pane windows, with the largest of the rooms retaining a panelled ceiling and a fireplace.

Outside, the driveway sweeps in from the gated entrance and runs down between the house and the walled, kitchen garden, to the parking area and garage/workshop. There is parking for numerous vehicles and a turning area. The beautiful gardens were once the pride and joy of the previous owners and are designed with seating areas to make the most of the summer days and are a haven for wildlife. The formal gardens extend into a more relaxed leafy oasis with a pond to allow the wildlife to thrive. The kitchen garden has been a productive space for vegetables and fruit, with a modern, practical greenhouse. This garden is in line with the existing properties along the road and, as such, suggests the potential for a building plot, subject to the necessary consents.

Please note, there is spray foam insulation in the roof.
