Externally
This home is positioned on a wonderful large corner plot within an excellent street. To the front, it benefits from a well-presented lawn and a large driveway, which leads to the two integral garages, both of which can also be accessed from the house.

To the rear is a beautifully landscaped garden, laid mainly to lawn, with mature borders and a patio area. The rear garden is also very private and backs onto an open green.

It is worth noting, in regard to the garages, that both have remote-control roller doors. The garage to the left was originally an internal room and served as a further reception room. This was converted in 1995, with building regulation approval, into a garage space, but could easily be converted back if required.
