Tucked away within a glorious gardenscape lies "Heartwood", a monument to art-deco style that showcases southerly vistas across the valley and a flexible floorplan for multigen families or those who operate a home business. Brimming with beautifully preserved century old architectural features including hardwood floors, sash windows, picture rails, fretwork and the most exquisite etched glass and leadlight windows and doors, you'll feel like you've stepped back in time to the Great Gatsby era whilst enjoying modern comforts such as a renovated bathroom, functional kitchen and a cosy gas log fire. Originally built circa 1920, this grand dame welcomes you to either move straight in or upgrade and renovate and enjoy a hills lifestyle whilst still being walking distance to the village and station.
