A substantial four bedroomed detached Edwardian farmhouse offering almost 2,300 sq.ft of versatile accommodation and occupying a generous plot of approximately 0.23 acres. With potential to create a self-contained annexe, this elegant period home offers an exciting opportunity for a new family to make their mark.

Built in the early 1900s, the property has seen many changes over the years and has remained in the same family for over two decades. Flourishing in period features including open fireplaces, impressively high ceilings and beautiful parquet flooring, the accommodation retains a wealth of character whilst offering the flexibility to adapt to modern family life.

The front door opens into a wide entrance hall, where parquet flooring and a sweeping staircase set the tone. To the right is a charming dual aspect dining room with an open fireplace and high ceilings. To the left, the triple aspect living room offers a wonderful sense of space and light, with another open fireplace. Originally arranged as two separate rooms, parquet flooring remains beneath the carpet in one of the former rooms.

The traditional farmhouse kitchen breakfast room features an array of wall and floor units, incorporating all the main appliances. A well-appointed utility room provides further practicality, whilst the kitchen links perfectly to the adjoining dining room and continues through to a boot room, home office and WC. This rear section of the property offers excellent annexe potential, with its own entrance and the versatility to create a self-contained living space, subject to the necessary consents.
