Seller Insights
“We bought the original house, a small 50’s bungalow, circa 1997 as my father needed a bungalow to live in due to mobility problems. After moving in, we received planning permission to extend at the back creating the resulting T-shaped building. Eventually the original part was re-done to match, with brickwork, stone fascia, new roofing and so on.”
Services: Mains electricity and water; oil-fired central heating supporting underfloor heating throughout
