About this home

Headmaster's Heritage: A Classy 1920s Gem!

Step back in time without sacrificing an ounce of modern luxury. Built in 1927, on a generous corner plot, for a prominent local headmaster, this isn't just a house—it's a piece of history that's been polished to perfection. If you've been looking for a home that balances "old-school" character with an immaculate, contemporary finish, your search ends here. We know **Ewe** will fall in love with the original features that have been preserved with such care.

Stepping through the front door, you're greeted by a hallway that sets the tone for the rest of the house—spacious, light, and full of charm. The living areas are designed for real life, where an original cast iron fireplace meets plush finishes, creating the perfect spot for Sunday afternoon snoozing. The kitchen is the heart of the home, leading seamlessly toward the outdoors.

Speaking of outdoors, the 75-foot garden is a showstopper. Whether you're pottering in the greenhouse, tinkering in the brick shed, or hosting a summer BBQ, there's room for everyone.

Heading upstairs, the bedrooms are a masterclass in style. Take a look at that primary bedroom in the photos—the light pouring through the original stained-glass bay window onto those crisp, white-painted floorboards is pure magic. It's an 'Ewe-nique' lifestyle that feels both grand and incredibly cosy. In addition this property is offered chain free!
