This handsome and imposing double fronted house, occupies a prominent position within this leafy and desirable residential area, overlooking Hurst Park Avenue.

Built in the 1930s, this impressive house stands detached on a broad and generous plot with large mature gardens.

The accommodation is well-maintained and found in good decorative order. The ground floor accommodation includes a spacious reception hall, an open plan kitchen/dining room with a bay window and a well-equipped kitchen. An elegant bay-fronted sitting room with a period fireplace and an attractive wood floor connects into an expansive, part-glazed vaulted extension with views down and access to the garden. An inner lobby with a WC completes this level.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to a family bathroom suite and four bedrooms. Original wood floors continue throughout this level.

The second-floor loft conversion adds a modern touch to the property and comprises two impressive rooms and a luxurious Jack & Jill bathroom with a walk-in shower cubicle and a freestanding bathtub. The finish of this conversion is of a high standard.

Outside, the large rear garden has been beautifully designed and continually maintained.
