A distinctive and superbly presented period property which is full of character. Comprising two linked reception rooms, a conservatory, a fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom with separate toilet the property also has a splendid mature garden and a small courtyard garden. Quiet simply, one of the best presented homes that we have ever had. An internal inspection is essential to appreciate the quality of this property.

In Detail:
The current owner has lavished considerable time and, dare we mention expense, on this property, with a great attention to detail, producing one of the finest properties that we have ever handled. The houses on Lidgate Grove are already highly sought after, being attractive period properties which are within a stone's throw of the village centre and with large gardens. What sets this home apart from the rest is the way that it has been upgraded but with an exacting attention to detail. All the features that you would wish to find in a period property are there; stained and leaded windows, cast iron fireplaces, corniced ceilings, a period bathroom suite and a shaker style kitchen. Looking more closely you will find period style lightswitches, dado rails and moulded cupboards.
