The Property

Built in the 1970's and subsequently extended, this excellent family home has been in the same ownership for the last 15 years. It has been well maintained and recent improvements include a new conservatory, simplification of the garden, plus replacement and relocation of the oil fired boiler to the garage, which would now enable the kitchen and breakfast room to be knocked into one if required. The wrap around gardens are a particular feature and extend to about quarter of an acre. The accommodation is very light and airy, with the majority of the living accommodation enjoying south facing windows onto the rear garden.
