The house was built in 1910 and thoughtfully extended around 2000, resulting in a total floor area of almost 4,300 square feet, which includes garaging.

The interiors beautifully blend Edwardian/Arts and Crafts period features with modern living spaces, providing a warm and inviting family home.

Redlands The main house is presented in turnkey condition and boasts generous room sizes, a large hallway and landing, and high ceilings as one would expect from a home of this period.
