About this property
Description
A unique and very special opportunity to acquire a substantial bay fronted semi-detached Victorian house of charm and character which provides great potential for sympathetic updating alteration. The property has been in the same family ownership for many years and was originally enlarged and altered by the owner who was an eminent architect. The property provides versatile and well proportioned accommodation over three storeys and has the advantage of a driveway/parking area to front and lean to garage/store to side.
