Images of the property posted online show that the property offers nine bedrooms, four reception rooms, a kitchen and breakfast room, three bathrooms and utility room.

Surprisingly, two more kitchens and two bathrooms can be found at the back of the first and second floors.

These are fitted because the property was used as a nursing home in the 1930s.

A basement apartment, accessed separately from the main residence, is also included in the sale.

This area, or the annexe-type living on the first and second floors, could provide living space for relatives or guests who want individual living with access to the main house.

The master bedroom boasts sash windows with views to the River Estuary and a period cast iron fire surround.

It also has access to a dressing room, again with a cast iron fire surround and his and hers dressing areas with shelving and hanging rails.

The property sits within a good sized plot with both front and back gated gardens, offering ‘beautiful private spaces.’

The current owners have chosen to keep the area mostly lawn, however there is potential for further landscaping.

Three individual garages, a rear driveway and multiple parking spaces are also benefits of this property.

The Abode listing reads: “This has got to be one of the most spectacular properties on the market to date and a once in a lifetime opportunity.

“If a house could tell a story, this one certainly would be a part of English Heritage.

“A Neo-Classical residence oozing character and charm, yet offering a bespoke and boutique feel.

“Any buyer would be investing into a magnificent piece of Italianate architecture, one that rarely comes to the open market.

“The property is currently used as a family home however it offers further potential to any investor wanting to maximise on the grandness to convert all or part of the accommodation into separate dwellings.”
