Our Summary
- Now in need of some modernisation and offering some very exciting potential, the property has remained in the same family since the 1940s
- The rear section of the ground floor has historically been used as an annexe with sitting room, kitchen, bedrooms and shower room, but offers excellent scope for reconfiguration into an open-plan family space
- The former grass tennis court could be reinstated or would provide an ideal location for a pool (subject to any necessary planning consents)
