Part Exchange available : A unique opportunity has presented itself to offer onto the market this beautifully positioned, period, detached villa set within 3.75 acres of land. There is an abundance of history connected with this property dating back to the early 1900’s when the Valentines lived in this very property. They were behind the firm who began as early exponents of photography. They also began as pioneers in the postcard industry and later developed the production of greetings cards, novelties, calendars and illustrated children’s books.

The property is a substantial detached villa sitting down a quiet private lane with a large plot which also benefits from a South facing aspect, which includes outbuildings.
