Description:
Robins Ridge was built in 1962 and is nicely tucked away in this no through road location. The property is deceptively spacious inside but also offers an exciting opportunity for an incoming buyer to extend subject to the relevant permissions. The accommodation briefly comprises an open hallway with open tread staircase and doors to the principal ground floor rooms. The current ground floor layout has been arranged with a sitting room with gas fire, kitchen/breakfast room leading to a dining area and study area beyond. There are 2 further ground floor rooms that offer a double bedroom and study complimented by a family bathroom. From the kitchen there is a door that leads to a utility area incorporated in the garage. Upstairs there is a principal bedroom with eaves storage and modern en suite bathroom. The accommodation is completed with 2 further bedrooms both with plenty of storage.

Outside:
The property is approached via a tarmac drive leading to a parking area and the garage. To the rear of the property there is a large terrace overlooking the garden and woodland beyond. The garden is full of an array of flowers, shrubs and specimen trees and has the benefit of being very private. Within the garden there is a small ornamental pond with a path leading over the brook to an area of woodland.
