The well proportioned and light accommodation is currently arranged over ground and first floors and offers plenty of flexibility.

The house sits handsomely in its plot providing an abundance of off-street parking at the front and several extension possibilities (subject to planning) which many of the neighbouring properties have already taken advantage of.
The lovely level rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a pond, mature trees, shrubs and borders as well as vegetable garden and greenhouse. This wonderful garden offers not only tranquillity and privacy but also a real feeling of space and openness with an exceptional aspect onto the Common.
