Designed by, and the former home of, notable local architect William Huckvale (1848-1936), Ardmore is most certainly a home with an exceptional pedigree. This imposing Victorian villa is, without doubt, one of the finest of its kind in the town.

Ardmore has been sensitively remodelled and thoughtfully reimagined to create a sumptuous family home; the perfect blend of traditional and contemporary. There is front to back side access down one side of the property and, at the rear of the garden and located off an unmade drive, there is a large double garage, plus parking for a further four cars.

Accommodation is substantial, with a capacious interior over three floors, plus a cellar. Many beautiful original features continue to adorn the property, from tiled floors to fireplaces, and with gloriously high ceilings throughout so typical of the period.

On the ground floor, from the wide hallway, there are three principal reception rooms, all of which and have their original fireplaces, now with wood burners added. The front sitting room features a large bay window. Further along the hallway is a utility room and cloakroom, and access to the sizeable cellar. Further in still, old gives way to new at the rear of the house, with a spectacular kitchen/dining room. This breathtaking room measures 34ft with a huge picture frame window at the far end, affording attractive views over playing fields.

The five double bedrooms are arranged over the two upper floors of the property, accessed from sizeable landing areas which add further to the wonderful sense of space to be found throughout the property. Three bedrooms, including a stunning principal bedroom with en suite bathroom, along with a modern family bathroom are located on the first floor, while the two remaining bedrooms are positioned on the top floor, along with a contemporary shower room.

Outside, the rear garden has been professionally landscaped and includes a lawned area and large patio.
