OVERVIEW
With fantastic bay views, High Ridge is an Arts and Crafts style property with lots of potential. Hidden away, the property is barely visible from Mount Pleasant and Plantation Avenue, yet the plot is open at the rear and the rooms light and bright. The already generous accommodation is across two floors, a lovely lounge has a feature bow window and there are two further reception spaces - perfect for families. All four bedrooms are doubles with one having an ensuite and there is a house bathroom with four piece suite. Private gardens envelope the house with a terrace and deck providing seating and entertaining areas, a level lawn is ideal for play and there are two driveways/accesses. The detached garage mirrors the house in style and could (subject to planning) offer studio or home office space.
The charm and character of High Ridge cannot be underestimated as properties of this style rarely come to the market. A viewing is a must and don’t delay.
