The house is approached over a private driveway and benefits from a front lawn, a large garden to the side and a garden to the rear with lawn and patio areas. DESCRIPTION Tong Hall is believed to have been originally constructed as a timber framed farmhouse probably dating from the early 17th Century. The property is distinctive in appearance with much ornamental and decorative brickwork to the exterior and a prominent front gable with a segmented dentil blue brick course to the chamber joist level. The front and side gables have stone copings with dentil blue brick courses to the eaves and faux Gothic style arched windows to the side elevation. During recent years the current owner of the property has transformed the residence with a careful and sympathetic scheme of extension, restoration and refurbishment throughout. The house is now presented to an excellent standard and benefits from an extensive range of accommodation to both ground and first floors with a high degree of flexibility of use to suit individual family's needs. ACCOMMODATION A front door opens into the RECEPTION HALL which is a superb entrance to the house and which is a reception room in its own right.

There is a DINING ROOM with exposed ceiling and wall timbering and supports, integrated ceiling lighting and a storage cupboard together with a SITTING ROOM with corner windows. The focal point of the living areas is undoubtedly the outstanding LIVING KITCHEN which is a superb room for everyday living with a kitchen area with a full range of units with granite working surfaces, under-mounted sink, space for a range-style cooker, tiled floor and ample space for both dining and seating areas. There is underfloor heating and a light, triple aspect with French doors to the rear garden.
