The property
This well-proportioned detached property provides spacious accommodation arranged over two floors and a good sized, attractive garden. The house could benefit from some modernisation but has all the elements of a splendid family home, including flexible reception rooms, with plenty of natural light throughout.

The main ground floor reception room is the 30ft sitting room, with its wooden parquet flooring and ornamental fireplace. There is a large window to the front, as well as sliding glass doors opening onto the rear garden, while double doors lead to the family room and a separate door leads to the conservatory at the side of the house. The kitchen is in need of updating, but has space for all of the required appliances.

There is one double bedroom on the ground floor, which could be used as a study if required, while the first floor has a further four double bedrooms, including the principal bedroom, with its fitted storage and en suite bathroom. The first floor also has the family bathroom and a separate WC.
