Ward Leys is a large detached rendered Edwardian family house extending to about 3,564 square feet, with an attached garage block built in about 2004, with scope to create ancillary accommodation (subject to necessary consent).
Ward Leys has lovely traditional architecture, with leaded double-glazed windows, tall ceilings, well-proportioned rooms, 6-panel timber doors, dados, cornices, picture rails and brass electric fittings. The property will benefit from updating but offers a rare opportunity to buy a house that is so well located and accessible.
A storm porch with carved timber balustrade gives access to the handsome reception hall, which has a parquet floor, painted timber panelling and a staircase with a hardwood newel and handrail. Study with built-in shelving with cloakroom off.

The kitchen has an extensive range of kitchen units with sink and integrated cooker, hob and extractor, with tiled floor and splashbacks and a wide arched opening to the garden room, which enjoys the best of the views and has French doors to the deck, a large roof lantern, bathing the room in light and a pine clad ceiling. Off the kitchen is the utility room with a pantry off and door to a covered courtyard that gives access to a store and wine store, the boiler house with twin oil-fired boilers and glazed sink and to the pair of double garages, with garden wc. This area might be suitable for conversion to ancillary accommodation. With an attached garden store and oil tank store. The outbuildings extend to about 1,228 square feet.
To the first floor, off the central landing, are five substantial double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom enjoys the view and with a well-appointed dressing room leading to an en suite tiled bathroom with twin basins, a spa bath and a separate shower.

The garden is principally lawned, with mature trees and shrubs, including oak and lime, beech, Scots pine, evergreens, acacia, maple, laurel, yew and holly.
