Description
' GEORGIAN GEM '
'ENCHANTING, UNIQUE &TIMELESS ......just some adjectives that could be used when describing this original ,much loved Georgian Period property which is set on approx.two thirds of an acre and bounded on all sides by solid block walls and majestic mature trees.The residence itself is approximately 3,500 sq.feet and has many attributes associated with the many Georgian Homes which became all the rave during the in the early 1700's.' Clifton House'is circa.early 1800's and is entered via gates leading onto a sweeping driveway,here there are wonderful gardens -laid in lawn with established trees and ample car parking space.The frontal facade of the property is adorned with four Georgian windows with the typical small window panes in each sash. an original Georgian door at ground floor level and Five Georgian windows at the first floor level.The entrance is reminisent of the Georgian by-gone era with a large hallway with original features such as high ceilings and an elliptical archway dividing the front hall from the rear,this sets the tone for this home with doors leading to the reception rooms namely the Drawing Room & the Dining room.The Kitchen is to the rear of the house again an attribute of the Georgian style home.The rear hallway has a door leading to the store room,utility ,downstairs bathroom.
An open -string staircase leads to the first floor accommodation and mid way up there is a 7 ft (approx.) Georgian window which whilst adding further character serves to allow for copious natural light to permeate. The large bright and airy landing leads to four main bedrooms ( one of which has a sub-room which allows for many possibilities e.g an ensuite/walk-in wardrobe /nursery to list but a few.There is a main bathroom and a hot-press.
We have out-lined in brief the accommodation but truly this is a property not to be missed by those who are looking for that special something' CLIFTON HOUSE ' is definitely not one of those properties that come to the market very often and this property whilst it is in need of restoration and re-furbishment it will definitely tick many boxes ......Perfect location , it offers seclusion & privacy, the size and the site itself ,the many special features and extras both externally and internally and above all else if offers the new owner many endless possibilities.
This is an excellent opportunity and we at property 4u are delighted to present this 'Georgian Gem' to you.
