Whilst modern benefits include full double glazing, central heating, three sets of French doors to the garden, stylish kitchen with Neff appliances, Wi-fi ceiling speakers and CCTV.

Externally the materials were carefully chosen with multi-paned windows, rendered and brick elevations all set around landscaped gardens with hedging and 5 bar gates.

Completing the property is a good size detached double garage with a purpose built room above giving an extra dimension to the property as a work from home office or studio.
