A splendid detached family residence set within a magnificent private garden plot, circa one acre.
This fine detached residence is believed to date back to 1922 and has been a wonderful family home to the current owners for nearly 50 years. Although well cared for, the property is ripe for updating and re-development. This property sits on a magnificent 1 acre plot being one of the largest plots within this prestigious address. The property provides well-proportioned and spacious accommodation, arranged over four floors featuring some interesting original character features. The property is approached via a gated driveway which sweeps round to the front of the house and provides ample parking. There is a large garage block with a carport, double garage and garden store plus additional outbuildings providing ample storage.
This delightful property is nestled amidst expansive landscaped gardens, bordered by mature hedgerows and trees that shield the property. Some of these trees reach impressive heights, enhancing the charm and character of the mature, green backdrop. This prestigious location itself, is a lush suburban street adorned with fully grown trees lining the road and surrounding the properties. These houses, typically spacious and detached, are set back from the road within generous gardens. The architectural styles span different eras, ranging from Victorian and Edwardian to contemporary designs, the only cohesive feature that gives continuity to the immediate area is the rich greenery which often only permits a glimpse of the fabulous houses beyond. There is no dominant vernacular style, individuality is the style that defines the character of this neighbourhood. Some of these houses are the work of renowned architects such as Edgar Wood and Henry Goldsmith.
Although a wonderful family home with great scope for extension and improvement, there is obvious potential for complete demolition and redevelopment to build your own 'grand design' masterpiece, subject to planning.
