About this property
DESCRIPTION Cedar House is listed Grade II as a property of architectural and historic interest and represents a delightful opportunity to acquire an outstanding home with charm, character and space whilst being positioned in such a desirable spot within walking distance of the town centre.
The property, understood to date from Victorian times with later additions, is arranged over three storeys and enjoys a striking façade as you approach from the carriage driveway. The external elevations are constructed of traditional grey brick with large bay windows and ornate iron railings beneath a pitched roof. The property retains its architectural features such as fine sash windows, panelled doors, fireplaces, wonderful ceiling heights, skirting and ornate cornice.
The house is approached at the front and leads from the front garden up the original steps and into the reception hall. Like many homes of this period, the classic arrangement of the principal rooms being at the front of the house with fireplaces is evident in Cedar House and both the sitting room and drawing room are wonderful spaces to entertain and enjoy. Much of the charm of the house rests in the addition at the rear incorporating the kitchen dining area with bi-fold doors leading out to the gardens, and with underfloor heating and deep insulation it provides the house with a modern touch.
The remaining ground floor rooms comprise a utility room, breakfast room and cloakroom.in addition, a staircase leads down from the hall and leads into a large cellar which has been tanked and comprises two rooms being a games room and cinema room.
There are two staircases to Cedar House, the main staircase leads onto an impressive landing area servicing four bedrooms which includes the principal bedroom. The back staircase leads up to a study which enjoys access to the family bathroom and bedroom where a fixed wooden ladder cleverly leads up to a bedroom, created in the ceiling due to the vaulted ceiling arrangement. Off the study a staircase provides access to a spacious landing with access to two further bedrooms and a four piece suite bathroom.
We draw your attention to the floorplan as to how the accommodation is arranged.
