Description
This detached Edwardian house, located just a stone's throw from Sturry station, sits on 1.1 acres of grounds with numerous outbuildings. The property, which has hardly been touched in 70 years, needs complete refurbishment but retains many original features. The house has a driveway, front garden, and garages, and is set back from the road. The interior features a study with half-height panelling, a dual-aspect sitting room with a marble fireplace, and a kitchen with a pantry and back door to the garden. The first floor has four double bedrooms with fireplaces, and the second floor has two large attic stores and two vaulted attic rooms. The gardens, which include mature trees, shrubs, and flower beds, need some TLC, but offer a "secret garden" and numerous outbuildings ripe for conversion, subject to planning. The property has a rich history, having been the home of crime writer Catherine Aird for over 70 years, and offers a unique opportunity to develop the footprint of some of the outbuildings, subject to planning.
