About
This attractive home occupies a private position on West Castle Road and benefits from a driveway, garage and front garden, along with a generous and well‐established south-east garden to the rear.
The property is well laid out, with accommodation flowing off the impressive welcoming hall.
Reception rooms are well proportioned and filled with natural light, providing comfortable areas for both family living and entertaining.
The kitchen and dining spaces sit at the heart of the home and link naturally to a conservatory that opens onto the rear garden, creating a practical connection to the outdoor space.
Bedroom accommodation is arranged across the upper floor, offering good separation between principal and secondary bedrooms, supported by bath and shower rooms, dressing areas and ample storage.
The layout is functional and adaptable, lending itself well to modernisation or reconfiguration if desired. The rear garden is a particular feature of the house.
Mature and well screened, it enjoys a sunny south‐facing aspect and a high degree of privacy, making it ideal for everyday use as well as entertaining.
Development potential Above the main accommodation, there is a substantial attic space which is currently used for storage but offers clear potential for conversion, subject to the usual consents.
This provides an excellent opportunity to extend the living space and further enhance the property over time.
There is also scope, subject to the appropriate approvals, to return the house to a single family dwelling, creating a large and well balanced home in a highly sought after location.
Alongside the mainhouse is a flat available subject to seperate negotiation, please contact Knight Frank for further information.
