Brimming with character, the home boasts generous driveway parking, a double garage, and a stunning rear garden that stretches down to the River Lud - all within a plot of approximately 0.4 acres (STS).

Inside, the property offers spacious and stylish accommodation, including a welcoming hallway, a front-facing dining/sitting room with original fireplace and parquet flooring, and an open-plan kitchen with breakfast area leading to a charming sunroom with exposed brickwork.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, including a master with en suite, and a family bathroom with both bath and shower. Beneath the rear of the garage is a versatile studio with its own shower room - ideal as a home office, gym, or guest suite.

The property dates back to 1839, having later additions which were designed to complement the Victorian character. The property has been very well maintained with the original windows and heated by way of a Glow Worm gas boiler. Ideally situated just a few minutes to the town centre passing a popular public house and the church on the way through, while the opposite direction gives you access to Westgate Fields Park, ideal for exercising and walking dogs, which in turn leads to Hubbards Hills.
