A distinctive and architecturally pleasing detached family house standing on a deceptively large plot, in a prominent location close to the town centre and all main amenities. Belle Vue is a fine example of a Victorian Gothic Revival residence, featuring red brick construction, decorative detailing, arched windows, steep roofs, and a picturesque, asymmetrical form. Despite some modern elements, such as the conservatory, the structure and interior retain strong period character and architectural integrity. The property has been a home for the same family for many decades. With over 4,100 sq ft of accommodation (including adjoining outbuildings) spread over four floors, there is an opportunity for a new generation to renovate and create a forever family home.
Location
