Description
Brindles is a detached house of brick and block construction under a tiled roof that was constructed in the early 1970’s. It has the advantage of still offering the style of the era such as the staircase, large windows and wood block flooring. The windows are of particular note, as many of them have been replaced with high quality units built by Andersen Windows, who are based in the United States. Internally, there is spacious accommodation, particularly on the ground floor where there is a well equipped kitchen and breakfast room, a living/dining room, sitting room with fireplace, utility room and cloakroom. On the first floor are four bedrooms and an impressive bathroom. Attached to the house is the original garage and it is envisaged that an incoming buyer may choose to extend the living accommodation into this/over this, subject to normal consents. 

Of particular note is the parking the property has and detached garage. This substantial building is fully insulated and it would not take a great deal of work to convert it into a annexe. It is however, currently ideal as garaging, workshop, home office or gym etc. The gardens surround the house and are mainly laid to lawn, containing specimen trees and raised vegetable beds.
