Currently the house is set back from Maids Causeway behind a shingle driveway for two cars and permission has been granted to “drop” the curb thereby permitting easy off-street parking.

The ground floor is entered through a panelled front door with a fan light over into a wide hallway. To the front is the drawing room which has a fireplace with marble surround, built-in glazed bookshelves on either side and a large floor to ceiling window overlooking the front garden. This room has been used in the past as a fourth bedroom. To the rear is a further reception room currently arranged as a dining room which has a similar fireplace surround and cupboards. Down the stairs there is a sitting room to the front and kitchen breakfast room at the rear with a half landing bathroom and utility area.

There are three bedrooms, a bathroom and separate WC on the upper two floors. The top floor rooms have wide dormers which could be reconfigured to create a further bedroom and a bathroom.

To the rear the walled garden is fully enclosed.

The property is available with vacant possession and no onward chain.
