Property description
A fabulous example of a large early 20th century semi-detached town house, with a wealth of wonderful original features such as high ceilings, huge stained glass sash windows and ornate coving. What you wouldn't expect to find in a property of this age is the level of high tech additions such as multi room sound systems, visual security system, touch lighting, projector system in the drawing room, boiling water dispenser in the kitchen etc, the list goes on. The house is within walking distance of the town centre and benefits from gardens to the front and rear with parking for numerous cars, a carport and single garage. The property briefly comprises: porch, hallway, downstairs toilet, drawing room, snug, kitchen, dining/family room sunroom and utility room to the ground floor with 4 bedrooms, en-suite and family bathroom to the first floor.
