Description
This charming property was built in the Edwardian period in 1909. Whilst once commanding a prominent location in the village and stunning views across the Midford valley, it retains many of its period features. Externally you are greeted with the stone crenelated parapet lining the roof and large stone bay windowed frontage displaying quoins and cornice string course. Internally this home retains many original features including ornate fireplaces, high ceilings and angulared walls. There is a real sense of space and comfort in this distinguished family home.
