The property has been lovingly maintained by the current owners for almost 40 years. The property is accessed by a private gated mono block paved driveway, which offers parking spaces for several cars, leading to the detached double garage with electric doors and provides further storage facility via a side door entry. The house is surrounded by extensive gardens, which have a mixture of mature trees, hedges, shrubs and flower beds. Several footpaths lead you around this engaging outdoor space. The property benefits from two large lawns, separated by a mature hedgerow. The second lawn, subject to the necessary planning consent, has a potential development opportunity as a house plot. Upon entering the vestibule the bright welcoming hallway provides access to the ground floor accommodation, consisting of a sitting room, formal lounge, dining room, breakfasting kitchen WC and cloakroom.
