Surely one of the most attractive homes on this highly regarded road, this stunning detached villa dates back to circa 1885.

Having been the subject of a comprehensive programme of sympathetic modernisation, the current owners have re-modelled the interior to a stylish, exacting standard.

Well over 3000 square feet in size, there is a wealth of well-proportioned accommodation over three storeys.

The luxury open plan kitchen by renowned Parkes Interiors overlooks and leads into good-sized gardens. It is therefore an ideal focal point for modern, family living.

Still retaining many original features, there is a delightful feeling of space, warmth and character.

It is only upon internal inspection that one can appreciate all this fabulous home has to offer.
