Owners Comments
“We have enjoyed creating garden area that is interesting & easy to maintain, and had many hours of family fun here”

“The house has been ideal for our needs, if we could pick it up and take it with us we would. The space and flexibility we have will be hard to find in any other place.”

“A lovely rural home, yet in easy distance of all travel and community needs”

Introduction
The current owners have very much enjoyed the property’s versatility and generous sized rooms. The configuration is ideal to meet the demands of modern family living, with a wide range of reception space on the ground floor that could easily be adapted to enhance upon the first floor accommodation, thus creating a feasible annex or guest suite.

Originally built in around 1990 with a characterful individual design, the current owners have since extended the ground floor living space with the addition of a fabulous pitched roof conservatory and separate family room, and the addition of a first floor ensuite off the second bedroom. The interior and exterior have been maintained to a high standard and with an excellent decorative order of soft neutral hues throughout.

The house is set well into the plot with a private sweeping driveway leading to a wide expanse of parking, leaving a deep lawn frontage to the established front boundary. The rear garden has been landscaped with flower/shrub borders, selectively planted trees and an open expanse of lawn.

Overall, a superb residence ideally suited to multi-occupancy living.
