The Property This well-presented detached family house is located at the end of a small development of individual detached properties which were constructed around the early 2000's by a respected local builder called Terry West. The house has buff coloured brick-faced cavity walls with contrasting-coloured quoins and stands back behind a deep front garden with a complementary front brick boundary wall and pillars. The main roof of the house is of pitched timber construction with a concrete tile roof covering. The windows are mahogany-effect uPVC double-glazed units and heating is by a gas-fired central heating system with recent service carried out at the end of 2024. There is partial underfloor heating and there is also a gas fire to the fireplace in the lounge.

The original house was significantly extended in recent years to create the five-bedroom home of today and the additional garage was added at the side of the house, which is suitable for a small car or for storage purposes.

The property is located close to the village centre facilities and stands in a good size plot with garden extending around three sides, a secure gated driveway and ample space to park off-road. The owners have recently decorated the interior in attractive neutral colours and the rooms are superbly presented.
