7 bed semi-detached house

The Old Retreat House is a seven-bedroom Edwardian property built in 1905 on a generous plot. The property extends to over 5,000 square feet, combining the proportions of a country house with the convenience of an in-town address. The arrival is gracious, with a sweeping gravel drive leading to a tile-floored entrance hall, an arched inner doorway, and a curved staircase rising beneath a leaded glass clerestory. The ground floor includes a drawing room, a sitting room with an Art Nouveau tiled fireplace, a dining room with three sash windows and a brick fireplace, a kitchen/breakfast room with French doors and a sheltered veranda, a laundry room, and cloakroom and WC. The first floor features a galleried landing, four bedrooms, and an en-suite bathroom in the principal bedroom. Three further bedrooms are located on the second floor, along with a bathroom and sloping ceilings. The cellar offers useful storage and a former air raid shelter has been converted into a workshop and wine store. Outside, the gardens are beautifully landscaped with mature planting, a manicured lawn, and different patio areas.
