The Property This substantial individual detached modern house has been the much loved home of one family for a considerable period and it‘s not difficult to see why.

There are five bedrooms with the master having its own en suite shower room. The family bathroom has both shower and bath and there is a separate shower room as well.

The ground floor is even more impressive with a generously proportioned L shaped reception room providing sitting and dining areas, complemented by a family room, study, kitchen breakfast room and large utility room.

The front garden is pleasantly laid out with well stocked shrub beds and borders, lawn and ornamental tree and conifer.
