At the front of the property is the inviting living room, featuring beautiful stained-glass windows. Original en-suite sliding doors connect the living room to the dining room, where French doors open onto the sunny terrace and generous rear garden. Thanks to the southwest-facing position, this is a wonderful place to enjoy the outdoors from afternoon well into the evening. The property has been carefully maintained over the years, with many of its characteristic features preserved. At the same time, it offers plenty of space and potential for a new owner wishing to further enhance the comfort, layout and functionality for contemporary living. L A Y O U T Ground floor The elegant vestibule leads into the central hallway, with a classic cloakroom, guest toilet and additional storage for coats and shoes.

One possibility would be to create a rear extension with an opening connecting the kitchen to a generous, light-filled living space, while still retaining a substantial garden. A covered outdoor kitchen next to the garage is another possibility. First floor The spacious landing provides access to four bedrooms, a large storage cupboard and the bathroom.
