Designed in an attractive circa 1930’s style, 46 Ravelston Dykes is a fine detached home full of both charm and character that offers excellent and versatile accommodation on two main floors. Stairs also provide access to a large attic room addition which would lend itself to a study or playroom.

The house has potential for cosmetic modernisation to create a stunning family home with a substantial undeveloped basement opening the possibility of further development (subject to the usual consents).

The accommodation, in the main, is totally uncompromised with spacious, well-proportioned rooms and large bay windows. The ground floor provides a substantial sitting room with dual aspect, a rear dining room with views across the garden and a further versatile study or fifth bedroom. All ideal for family living. There is, in addition, a kitchen which provides side access to the garden adjoining a utility room and WC.

The first floor consists of a principal bedroom, three further bedrooms the rear of which have pleasant far-reaching views and a family bathroom with separate WC.

Outside

Set well back from the road and behind a private curved entrance and exit driveway, the house is approached through either of two double gates and via a pleasant lawned front garden. Providing ample parking for multiple cars it also leads to the double garage.

The enclosed rear garden is laid mainly as level lawn bordered by mature beds and hedging and features seating areas and a raised paved side terrace, ideal for entertaining.

Access is provided by a door at garden level to the two linked storerooms.
