This charming and substantial Edwardian family home is situated on
an elevated position and located within the conservation area of
Grappenhall. A great level of attention to detail, with thoughtful
enhancements, plus attractive decorations make this a most unique
family home.
Of particular note is the bespoke handmade 'Smallbone of Devizes'
kitchen, which enjoys direct access into the private rear garden
and also has a large dining room adjacent. There are also two large
separate reception rooms off the impressive reception hall with its
original 'Minton Hollins' tiled floor and staircase with open hand
finished balustrade leading to the first floor. In fact, throughout
the house there are many original features intact, including deep
skirting boards, detailed coving to the tall ceilings, picture
rails and feature fireplaces.
Four bedrooms, plus a recently fitted beautiful period style family
bathroom and further shower room are located to the first floor,
all continuing the flow of tasteful decor whilst retaining the
properties period features.
Ample off-road parking is provided via the deep driveway. Also,
there is a delightful landscaped lawned garden to the rear with
borders with mature planting.
