About this home
This substantial five bedroomed detached residence is a fine example of the Arts & Crafts style, dating back to 1928, and sits within a plot of almost quarter of an acre (STS) close to the city centre.

The generous accommodation includes an expansive reception hall, a spacious sitting room, and a formal dining room, all of which benefit from the original features and proportions typical of the period. The kitchen/breakfast room offers further space for family living and entertaining. Upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms provide ample space for a growing family or for those requiring home office or guest accommodation.
