Description

Built in the 1980's for a local businessman (with the 2 adjacent properties also built for his brothers) Hyford House is a distinguished modern residence with very spacious proportions and includes some notable features. The 18' Reception Hall with Galleried Landing over is of great appeal, whilst the triple aspect Lounge also includes a Minster Fireplace with a fitted log burning stove. As will be seen, all rooms are of excellent size and proportion and the majority of the windows have been replaced with uPVC units. In addition a new gas fired central heating boiler was installed 12 months ago. The gardens and grounds are particularly pleasing and there is the advantage and attraction of a Double Garage with workshop behind. It should be noted that the asking price includes all quality fitted carpets, light fittings and curtains.
It may be of interest to note that it is considered that there might well be a possible BUILDING PLOT in the side garden area and investigations are being made with the Local Authority.
