Set in beautifully maintained and well-established garden grounds in this peaceful residential pocket a blonde sandstone semi detached villa, built circa 1877, offering versatile family accommodation within eight principal apartments formed over three levels. The property is finished and dressed in blonde sandstone under a pitched and slate roof with deep overhangs.
