Enchanting, unique and timeless are just some adjectives that could be used when describing this original, much loved Georgian period property which is set on approximately two-thirds of an acre and bounded on all sides by solid block walls and majestic mature trees.

The residence extends to approximately 3,500 sq ft and has many original features.
Clifton House dates from the early 1800s and is entered via gates leading onto a sweeping driveway, here there are wonderful gardens -laid in lawn with established trees and ample car parking space.

The frontal facade of the property is adorned with four Georgian  windows with the typical small windowpanes in each sash. An original Georgian door at ground floor level and Five Georgian windows at the first floor level.

There is a large hallway with original features such as high ceilings  and an elliptical archway dividing the front hall from the rear which sets the tone for the whole property with doors leading to the reception rooms namely the drawing room and the dining room.

The kitchen is to the rear of the house and the rear hallway has a door leading to the storeroom, utility and downstairs bathroom.

An open-string staircase leads to the first floor accommodation and mid way up there is a seven foot Georgian window which whilst adding further character serves to allow for copious natural light to permeate. The large bright and airy landing leads to four main bedrooms (one of which has a sub-room which allows for many possibilities such as an en-suite, walk-in wardrobe or nursery. There is a main bathroom and a hot-press.

This is a property not to be missed by those who are looking for that special something.

Clifton House is one of those properties that come to the market very often and whilst it is in need of restoration and refurbishment it will definitely  tick many boxes.
