DESCRIPTION: A seldom found opportunity to acquire an individual and mature detached family house, positioned on a corner plot backing on to fields, forming part of a select close of just nine homes surrounding a central green.

There are four bedrooms, all positioned to the rear of the house, to take full advantage of the lovely views. Each bedroom has wardrobe/storage and are served by a family bathroom/wc.
