House For Sale £1,400,000
Description
Orwell, is a substantial detached house which sits proud within just under an acre plot and is set back off the main road, the property we believe dates from 1936 and was named Orwell, after a famous Golden-haired colt race horse, who won the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket in 1932.
Construction is of traditional build of brick and block, white painted facades, tiled roof, sash windows, and central doorcase with hood.
Internally there are many attractive art deco style features such as fireplaces, dado rails, glassed bar arch above internal doors, storage cupboards and an attractive balustrade staircase which leads to the first floor.
The property has been in the same family for over 50 years and is now in need of full refurbishment, which provides a fantastic opportunity to update, create and develop your own style to this classic home.
