Description

Accessed via a gated driveway this detached period house, dating from around 1900, is currently used as a six bedroom home with additional accommodation on the second floor in the form of an apartment. It occupies a corner plot on Albany Road and The Green and provides very generous proportions with accommodation including a cellar amounting to in total 8,461 sq ft. Period features of ceiling roses, moulded cornicing and sash windows abound and provide a feeling of grandeur, enhanced by the excellent ceiling heights and overall room sizes.

The current accommodation is principally over ground and first floors which are very well presented, including an impressive breakfast/kitchen located in the property’s formal chapel. Whilst the second floor, provides many additional rooms which are decorated and fitted out to a more basic standard with potential to finish to suit one's taste. There are three separate staircases from the ground to the first floor and with an existing additional entrance this opens up scope for a separate flat(s), subject to any necessary permissions.

The second, unoccupied floor, offers the potential to create a separate three-bedroom apartment, with private stairway and independent access from the rear.

The gardens are to the front and side of the property and are kept fairly simply with a patio terrace coming off the kitchen and planted borders to the front. There is off road parking for several cars.
