Here is what the owner had to say about the property:

The property is situated on the lovely Thorpewood Avenue. It’s a quiet road and it has a great community spirit, all the neighbours get on well and look out for each other.

The house is incredibly spacious, often called the tardis as like Dr Who’s tardis it looks small from the outside but really opens up on the inside.

We have kept lots of the original features that gives the house lots of character.

There is also lots of potential to change the house so buyers can put their own individual stamp on it.

Over the years I have put in an en suite shower room to one of the bedrooms, put in a central heating system, added a new boiler, repaired the roof, insulated the front porch and all the windows are double glazed.

The reason for selling the house is that after 25 years it’s time to move on and I now live in France.
