DESCRIPTION
This handsome detached house occupies a particularly generous plot in an exclusive location. It is being in the ownership of the same family for many years and appears to have been well maintained during that period. It offers attractively presented accommodation of comfortable proportions which currently comprises a welcoming entrance hall leading to the sunny sitting room with its cosy woodburning stove, a separate dual aspect dining room and a spacious kitchen/breakfast room. On the first floor there are three double bedrooms, a study, bathroom and a cloakroom. There is also considerable scope to extend should additional space be required (subject to all necessary consents and approvals being obtained).

The house is set well back from the peaceful lane on which it is situated with a long garden to the front where the driveway provides off road parking for numerous vehicles. The rear garden is delightfully secluded with a large expanse of lawn and various seating areas ideal for alfresco dining end entertaining.

For room sizes please refer to the floor plan.
