House For Sale £1,200,000
An imposing and substantial detached house with spacious family accommodation built in 1910 for a local merchant which has been subsequently tastefully extended and altered by the present owners in whose ownership the property has been since 1964. Many of the original features have been retained and the house benefits from high ceilings with coving as well as sealed unit double glazing in a sympathetic style although there is considered to be some potential to further improve.
This is a rare opportunity to purchase an attractive character property in a convenient location and therefore worthy of an early inspection.
