During their ownership the property has been thoroughly and sensitively renovated enhancing the Edwardian charm and proportions with up-to-date convenience. The six bedroom accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes a superb ground floor extension planned with a specialist architect to create single level living incorporating two bedrooms, one en-suite and the other with a large, adjoining wet toom, kitchen, sitting room and hydro swim spa that opens onto a private sun deck with bar and barbecue area, the perfect al fresco entertaining space.

The sunken garden includes a pond, raised beds and fruit trees. The large workshop space underneath the deck has double doors onto the lower garden and is perfect for working from home.

The property is conveniently set back from Burnley Road allowing a sense of tranquillity, yet retaining easy access for motorways, railway stations, hospitals and schools.
