Grade II listed, this beautiful Georgian home of great character and historical interest boasts seven bedrooms and three reception rooms. A former doctors home with surgery space having separate access to the front of the house which is now the study, the proportions of this period property are vast indeed with square footage of the main house alone coming in at over 3,800 square feet and overall including the outbuildings in excess of 4,500 square feet. The property retains many original features including many open fireplaces, delf tiles, decorative cornice work and large sash windows, many of which have original shutters.

The internal accommodation in brief comprises a hallway, WC, study, spacious lounge, family room, dining room and kitchen with an electric 4 door AGA, followed by a utility room at the rear. On the first floor are five bedrooms, with one of the bedrooms offering a dressing room and en-suite shower room. There’s also a family bathroom and smaller second bathroom off the landing. There’s a mezzanine floor to the front with two additional bedrooms above the first floor; as well as a large wine cellar accessed via the ground floor hallway.

Outside there is a workshop and storage in an outbuilding believed to be an old bakery and separate garaging. The large tiered garden to the rear is mainly walled with lawns, mature trees including fruit trees, sunken terrace area, vegetable patch and chicken coup. There’s gated access and access to the outbuildings from the garden. The double garage is accessed via School Lane with off-road parking for several vehicles.

The property could benefit from some improvement, but offers incredible potential to create an outstanding home, and is priced to reflect the current condition. The home offers great versatility with potential of sectioning off parts for multi-generational living or potential for development of outbuildings such as the Old Bakery to create further accommodation.

It has a good selection of primary schools and two secondary schools, one of which is the renowned Queen Elizabeth Grammar School.
