Description - A substantial detached family home that occupies an enviable position on the edge of Dore Village.

With its stylish frontage, that includes a two storey glazed facade and a sensible design that provides the majority of the principal accommodation with plenty of sunlight and access to the south westerly facing garden this attractive home could easily be mistaken for having been built in the last decade.
