OWNER OPINION
This is a great house. It was the perfect place to raise my children, with space for sleepovers, study groups and class projects. There is the right balance of charming character and modern upgrades. When I first viewed it, I could not believe how many rooms were behind the lovely brick and flint storefront. It is fantastic for entertaining and parties. The 3 main reception rooms and the kitchen are large. Sadly, it's time to downsize and and pass the magic on.
