This outstanding detached villa, dating from the 1870s, has been thoughtfully remodelled to create a cohesive, elegant and highly adaptable family home. It balances generous living space with a warm, practical layout, ideally suited to modern family life. To the front, there is private off-street parking, while to the rear lies a particularly special garden — private, mature and enjoying a sunny west-facing aspect.
Of note, the current owners originally acquired the upper and lower properties separately before sensitively reinstating the house as a single private dwelling. As part of this process, a striking central hall and staircase were introduced, creating a natural flow between the two levels. The addition of a utility room and ground floor wet room has further enhanced both functionality and day-to-day convenience.

To the rear, the kitchen / breakfast room forms the heart of the home, fitted with a range of integrated appliances and offering ample space for dining. Double doors open directly onto the garden, creating an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a charming garden room / snug - a versatile and comfortable space, perfectly positioned to enjoy the garden throughout the seasons.

Accessed via hatch and Ramsay ladder, a partially floored attic provides excellent additional storage.
