Description
Believed to date from 1966, Twin Oaks was built by Westholme of Ely and is of pre-fabricated concrete panel construction under a pitched tiled roof occupying a generous, mature plot of nearly half an acre. 

The vendors acquired the property in October 2022 and in the intervening period have renovated and updated Twin Oaks with works including a new woodburning stove with back boiler serving the hot water and  central heating system, rewiring the property and updating the kitchen and shower room - with the kitchen including an impressive dual fuel Rangemaster cooker.  In addition, new UPVC windows were installed, and the exterior of the building rendered and painted.  A new foul water treatment plant has also been installed, together with extensive works within the gardens and grounds including the improvement of the driveway and parking area and installation of patio areas at the rear. 

Twin Oaks occupies a large plot of nearly half an acre, and facing in both south and westerly directions, the gardens enjoy the sun during the latter half of the day. The plot itself is very private and includes a wide variety of mature and established shrubs and trees, and a useful range of timber frame garages/storage buildings as well.  

Prospective purchasers should note that overhead electricity pylons cross the western part of the garden.
