The Property - With well balanced proportions and a versatile layout, this property offers ample space for family living while remaining easily manageable for those looking to downsize from a larger home. Built during the 1980’s with a combination of brick and stone faced elevations this attractive single storey dwelling offers more than meets the eye.
