West
Mount is a substantial, traditional house set well back from the
road with gardens to the front side and rear and plenty of space
to allow for the addition of a garden room or extension if desired.
It offers beautifully proportioned accommodation with many charming
original features such as high skirtings, decorative cornices and
panelled doors which have been stripped and polished. These combine
well with a neutral colour scheme to provide bright, spacious and
flexible accommodation over three levels, with the benefit of gas
central heating and part double glazing. There are also a number
of outhouses and off-street parking.
