A fine Charleston era detached 4 double bedroom family home enriched with a whole host of charming features and enjoying a commanding, slightly elevated position with picturesque gardens of about 1/3rd acre and views across the vale as far as the Bristol Channel Coast and hillsides of Wales away in the far distance.
The setting offers stunning sunsets while the rear gardens are a delight taking advantage of the sunny position, offering a good deal of shelter and a real feeling of space and privacy. The feeling of space continues inside the house where the extensive accommodation flows beautifully and is tremendously flexible.
The property originally dates from around 1925 and has in more recent times been very successfully enlarged. Over the past twenty or more years the house has clearly been cherished by the present owners who have improved the property further but taken great care to retain the character of the accommodation and enhanced the many original interior features including the superb octagonal reception hall.
