Description
DESCRIPTION
7 Princess Drive was built in 1937 of brick under a tiled roof and is approached over a gravel drive leading to a large car parking and turning area. It has been a much loved family home and comes to the market for the first time in over 50 years. The house itself is much larger than it might initially appear, having been skilfully developed and enlarged through the years and in total comprising 1,850 square feet plus the detached garage.
Internally there is an impressive blend of original period features with tasteful contemporary quality that blend together to form a first class family home. The house is very bright, with bay windows, French windows, lattice windows and dual aspect rooms. Original features include a fine oak staircase, parquet wood block floors and plate racks.
The gardens are a delight and provide a wonderful setting for this exceptional home.
