Description - Summersbury comprises a mature, detached chalet-style residence, possibly constructed during the 1960s, which presents elevations of brick and painted render, with UPVC-clad gable end and double glazed windows beneath a tiled roof. The accommodation is bright, spacious and versatile, with bedrooms on the Ground Floor, which could otherwise be used as Reception rooms but also future-proofs. Although the property is well presented, it would benefit from general updating. The house is complemented by well-tended, secluded gardens, which are also well-established and feature many specimen trees and shrubs. There is no upward chain and the contents of the property are available by separate negotiation if required.
