Established Detached 4 bedroom property with Self Contained Annex

This attractive property was commissioned in 1928 by Mr W A Taverner and designed by A R Dannatt L.R.B.A at Little Waltham. This is the first time the property has been marketed for sale since it was built.

Wrenswood is a 4 bedroom detatched house with self-contained annexe located in a quiet location off Patching Hall Lane and conveniently located for the City Centre and Main Line Railway Station.  The property is ideally located for the highly regarded secondary schools in the area including both grammar schools.

Originally the grounds of Wrenswood included all of Longleat Close. What remains today includes the original spacious south facing back garden and sufficient land either side to accommodate a good double garage and spacious self-contained annexe both designed by John Bishop of Stock.

Alterations in 1988 included the front lobby and cloakroom whilst the study/4th bedroom and separate en-suite for the main bedroom were added in 2004.

Much of the original layout and many original fixtures and fittings remain including the servants bells but the house now requires some upgrading and improvement.
