Behind its elegant and instantly recognisable façade lies a beautifully appointed home presented in impeccable turnkey condition. Extensively upgraded and meticulously maintained, the property successfully marries the elegance and craftsmanship of its Victorian heritage with the comfort and efficiency of contemporary family living.

The large master bedroom offers luxurious accommodation complete with an ensuite shower room and walk-in wardrobe, while several of the three further well-proportioned double bedrooms benefit from their own ensuite facilities, ensuring an excellent level of comfort and privacy throughout. The highly adaptable lower ground floor further enhances the home’s versatility, incorporating a contemporary kitchen/breakfast room and a separate lounge/cinema room, alongside a flexible space suitable as a wine cellar or further extensive storage. This level adds significant functionality to the property and lends itself to a wide range of modern family needs. To the front, a substantial gravelled driveway provides valuable off-street parking for several vehicles, a rare and highly sought-after feature in such a prestigious and well-established setting. Every aspect of the property reflects the exceptional care and attention of its current owners, resulting in a home of true distinction, ready for immediate occupation.
