From its bluestone foundations to its attic study, solid-brick c1914 history is imbued in this Edwardian. Its facade is non-traditional storybook style; inside there are high pressed-metal ceilings, Baltic pine floors, five fireplaces and a stained-glass bay window. It has row parking in the north-facing garden, and potential for a fabulous upgrade.
