About this property

A four/five-bedroom detached period home in the centre of the city. A deceptive four bedroom house originally constructed in 1912 containing many period features in contrast to a contemporary second floor bedroom suite. Located in a city centre cul-de-sac within a few hundred metres of the railway station and the highly regarded KEGS and CCHS schools. The rooms have high ceilings and are well proportioned with a comfortable feel and décor in keeping with the period of the house.
