A century-old family home with panache – in a stunning location
Family home with an air of grandeur, in hillside location with gardens and summer house.
This distinctive semi-detached home dates back to 1920, and is very spacious.
Oak Hill West was built originally as one large country house, then was split in to two 50 years later. It's hillside location is said by the estate agent to conjure images of an “Agatha Christie film set… whether playing croquet on the lawn or sipping gin and tonics in the summerhouse".
The house has original features, from walk-in bays to stone mullion windows, and wood-panelling.
From a vestibule is the hallway, with a cloakroom.
The bay-windowed sitting room has a stone fireplace with open grate, a ceiling cornice and picture rail.
