Description
This beautiful and impressive home has been exceptionally well cared for since the current owner bought it new around 30 years ago. In recent years many improvements have been made including, but not limited to, extending the ground and first floors, refitting the kitchen and bathrooms to a high specification, installing a solar PV system on the south facing roof, as well as keeping all areas in excellent decorative order. This is one of those rare homes that you could move straight into without having to do a thing.

Low maintenance and attractive brick elevations with double glazed windows support the pitched tiled roof. The deep front garden gives good separation from the road and provides driveway parking for 3 cars. To the rear is an enclosed and sunny south facing garden.

Accommodation briefly comprises of 4 bedrooms, one with a dressing room and en suite bathroom, family shower room, entrance hall, cloakroom/WC, sitting room and a broadly open plan kitchen/dining/family room.
