The property stands within a sizeable plot with level walled gardens to both front and rear with good connectivity to the home. Extensively renovated some ten years ago, the property provides a versatile footprint and family home. There is scope for self containment to the lower ground floor for income or a dependant relative, whilst the principal home and it's generous footprint caters well for families both young and old. Enjoying an East/West orientation, to the rear and front respectively, there is terrific solar gain and principal rooms and bedrooms are all bathed in natural light. Enhancements include the study room, catering well for home working, and the large garden store below.
Approached via a wide pedestrian path with wrought iron gate and arch, the front garden is ornamental , laid to lawn and enjoys a degree of privacy with the benefit of well stocked borders and a green curtilage.
