The property sits within its own very generous as well as elevated and secluded plot, with ample parking, which in turn leads to a garage with double doors plus light and power, as well as an attached workshop, which also benefits from light and power. To the rear of the garage there is a woodstore, with the main lawn garden area offering a high degree of privacy, which is partially enclosed by fence surround. To the rear of the property there can also be found a further large paved area which makes for a perfect sun trap, where there can also be found steps leading down to a separate gated entrance to the property.

Overall, taking into account the wealth of character and natural light which this property benefits from, as well as the great deal of thought which has gone into the extension, so as to be in keeping with the original property, as well as the many other features, such as stripped floors in the majority of bedrooms, modern double-glazed sash window units to most rooms and the very private position in which the property is set, we feel sure the property will attract a wide range of potential purchasers. As such we would recommend an early inspection to avoid disappointment.
