An excellent opportunity to acquire a super modern four bedroom detached property. A bright and airy home, offering well planned and spacious accommodation.

Tastefully presented to a modern specification, the property has been improved by the current owners. They have extended the kitchen area and reconfigured the layout to create a large open plan living space and two additional bathrooms.
