6 bedroom detached house for sale

A wonderful opportunity not to be missed. Available with the added advantage of no upward chain.

Located at the head of a small cul-de-sac of just four properties and standing in a mature 0.22 of an acre plot, this architect designed detached house was ahead of its time when built in the early 1970’s with large glazing allowing for plenty of natural light and generous room proportions. Having been altered and extended over the years, the house now provides truly flexible accommodation of almost 2400 sq. ft, with options for a growing family or multi-generational living.

Some light refurbishment is now required; however this property is just perfect for someone to put their own taste and flair into this rarely available home.

The accommodation in brief offers: Enclosed entrance porch, reception hall, guest cloakroom/w.c, stunning living room with vaulted ceiling which is open plan to a delightful garden room, spacious kitchen/dining room and utility room/workshop. The ground floor also has a large double bedroom, complete with its own en-suite wet room.
The first floor consists of five bedrooms, one having en-suite facilities, plus a choice two bathrooms.
