Built during the reign of King George V this property oozes character and charm at every turn, pairing and blending style with practicality. From the herringbone parquet flooring that cascades throughout the ground floor of the property to the mullioned windows and alabaster fireplace in the dining room, Maryland is truly one of a kind.
The current owner has lovingly restored the property to a fantastic modern standard offering the ultimate sense of peace of mind to any new owner.
The ground floor presents flexible accommodation to suit all needs and styles. A grand entrance hall is met from the porch with the stairs case forming the focal point of the room. A turn to the left will present you with a stunning drawing room with triple aspect windows and a gorgeous fireplace with original wood surround. A turn to the right from the hallway leads you through to the family room and breakfast room with views to the front across your sweeping driveway and gardens.
The dining room is a opulent space designed specifically to offer the wow factor to your guests and family with stunning views to the front.
The kitchen offers a modern space to work from with a range of fitted premium appliances and space for further white goods. The utility room is more akin to a large boot room with the added benefit of access to the front of the property.
