OVERVIEW Dating back to the Georgian Period, Kidside House is a detached gentleman's residence perfect for a growing family and buyers wanting space and grounds. Period features have been retained where possible with fireplaces, high ceilings and elegant sash windows in most rooms. The versatile layout comprises the main house with three reception spaces and four bedrooms, the connecting annexe at the side has a further utility space, bedroom and bathroom and could easily be integrated into the main accommodation or developed further for a dependent relative, guests or separate let. Externally, the level garden sweeps around the front of the house and there is a paddock running parallel. The extensive rear garden is lawned and there is a workshop/outhouse, garage, an orchard and fruit cage. With attic spaces and cellar still to explore, this is a home of real potential and is perfect for buyers wishing to update and modernise to their own tastes.
