This stunning and highly adaptable 5-bedroom contemporary home was constructed for the builder’s own occupation in 1955 and occupies a mature, established plot of approximately 0.338 of an acre -facing South/Westerly to the rear. The current owner has lovingly and creatively refurbished the house to provide stylish, contemporary accommodation with unique mid-century modern tones including large picture windows, a split-level layout and a striking stone fireplace.
