The Property

This immaculately presented four-bedroom detached house occupies a desirable corner plot on a peaceful private road, offering a superb blend of modern family living and practical versatility. The property has been extensively modernised, featuring new high performance flush casement timber windows and a wealth of contemporary touches throughout.

Two well proportioned reception rooms provide flexible living and entertaining spaces, complemented by a separate utility room for added convenience.
