This art deco residence is surely one of the finest to have come on the open market for sale within recent years and occupies a superb setting overlooking the Megaw Park whilst within a short walk to the town centre and all it's amenities.
Built for the owner occupation circa 1930 for Sir Henry Algeo (Justice of the Peace) and subsequently acquired by the present owners in 1998 who spent 14 years sympathetically restoring the property to its original glory.
Indeed this meticulous restoration project included the retention of the attractive solid oak panelled walls, carved oak window pelmets, corniced ceilings and covings, antique wall lamps, walnut window panelling and oak/walnut bedroom/living furniture in the majority of the main living rooms found throughout the property.
It would be true to say that there are very few properties today that can boast as many fine and original features as this. Although built circa 1930 the property also offers superb modern living accommodation comprising 6 bedrooms, 4 reception rooms, 2 main bathrooms, a luxury shower room, sauna room, a delightful spa room, gym, beam vacuum system and a large and luxurious kitchen/breakfast room, together with a range of other additional rooms.
A truly unique property offering all the benefits of a modern family home in a superb location yet retaining the original character and detail which is seldom found in properties of this era.
We therefore recommend an immediate appointment to view as the true characteristics of this residence can only be fully appreciated on internal inspection.
