5 bedroom detached house for sale

The property has undergone considerable alteration during recent times taking what was, originally, a nicely proportioned detached 5 bedroom family home, now with the addition of a superb, completely self-contained 2 bedroom annexe which would be ideal for those looking to accommodate a dependent relative although could, of course, be used for a variety of other purposes.
