Description

This charming double-bay property has been thoughtfully extended and updated by the current owners . The property features attractive wooden sash windows, is double-glazed throughout and is offered to the market with no onward chain.

The house is set behind a wall with a shallow, gravelled front garden. Upon entering, a tiled path leads to a panelled front door, featuring a fanlight overhead.
