Description

This is a home that is basked in glory. Its traditional timeless design is classic. TLC is needed in some places, but overall the potential is larger than life it self. From the room sizes to the abundance of character and the garden size to the overall plot, this will make someone's dream come true. With a lounge as large as this, there is noting stopping you from hosting the next TV awards. Just imagine those parties you could have, with the room lit up with smiles and laughter.When it comes to the bedrooms, what can I say? They are all a magical size with one of them having a great panoramic view over the garden. So how would you like to awake daily to the birds chirping and sight of green open space. What's better still, is the parking that's available . Apart from the quaint but cute double garage, that lurks at the side, the grounds are stunning. Enough room to park a car or two. So with no forward chain what is stopping you from buying a piece of history.
