This leads to the en-suite bathroom which has matching furniture, a large deep panelled bath and a separate fully tiled shower cubicle with power shower. The family bathroom is also well appointed with a separate shower cubicle as well as a bath. There are three other good sized double bedrooms and two smaller bedrooms, one being used as a study in the tower.
The landing is extremely spacious and has a large sash window giving plenty of light. There is a basement area dividing into four rooms approached from the garden. Outside there is a gravel courtyard with plenty of parking space. The garage block will take two large cars. The house is situated in approximately a third of an acre and there are gardens to two sides of the property with a veranda running across the back of the house overlooking the garden which is well screened with a good lawn area, barbecue area and mature shrubs and trees. The property has many fine features of the Victorian era with high ceilings, decorative mouldings and fireplaces. This 1850 house is within a Conservation area as well as being locally listed. It is an outstanding example of Victorian architecture set in an unmade country-like road yet within minutes of exceptional rail, tram and bus services. London is a twenty minute train journey away.
