The property sits on a plot of about 0.63 acres, 120 ft from the lane, in an elevated position with vistas towards Hylands Park over the Wid Valley. The rear gardens have a southerly aspect and extend to about 230 ft immediately adjoining Galleywood Common Nature Reserve.
The internal accommodation, which is light and airy, is arranged over two floors and extends to approx. 2,250 sq ft.
The house has been designed to take advantage of its situation with deep windows providing a good deal of natural light and vistas over the gardens and the countryside to the front. There is scope to extend the property, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consent.
A central hallway divides a dining room and an extended sitting room, both enjoying lovely views over the front gardens. At the rear of the house is a large L-shaped kitchen/breakfast room, comprehensively fitted and with access out to the gardens. Adjoining us a utility room with stable door to the garden and access to the garage.
On the first floor are four generous bedrooms. The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room and the remainder are served by a family bathroom.

Galleywood Common was my childhood playground a full of very fond memories. For me, I love the location of this house, it will appeal to those seeking a rural feel, but needing access to road and rail networks
