Map | Street view | Nearby | Property Description: | Sherry FitzGerald Lettings are delighted to present this elegant home to the rental market.
Dating from 1888, its proportions and layout hark back to a different era of horse drawn carriages and steam liners.
Externally, the house is set on an acre of private grounds including a full size tennis court. Accessed via electric gates and long avenue, it is an oasis of calm in the heart of a busy town.
Accommodation internally includes, three reception rooms, a breakfast room, a conservatory, new kitchen, scullery, four large double bedrooms (two with en-suite bathrooms) and a main bathroom with feature cast iron tub.
A house such as this, presents many outstanding features; to many to list here. However, the secret courtyard, the restored stain glass panels, the original window shutters and the viewing deck off the master bedroom are but a few to whet your appetite. This outstanding home is a must view if you are looking for a family home that is out of the ordinary. Call or e-mail us now to arrange an appointment. Viewing will not disappoint.

Trivia: In 1888, when this house was completed, it was a different world. Jack The Ripper was terrifying London, The Parliament of the United Kingdom passed an act that permits bicycles on the road, on condition that they are equipped with a bell and in August 1888 Bertha Benz drove 40 miles (64 km) in a car manufactured by her husband Karl Benz, thus completing the first "long-distance" drive in the history of the automobile.
