Off the dining room lies the kitchen with access to a separate hall with external access to the front of the house and the shower room. off the other side of the kitchen lead through into a central reception area which provides access to the garden and a further hall serving a double bedroom and a super garden room which enjoys access onto the terrace.

On the first floor there are three superb bedrooms which enjoy lovely views over the gardens, a family bathroom and a WC.

To the outside, the house is approached from the road via a shared drive serving a number of other properties and the gardens surround the house, with the front garden/drive and double garage and then the larger rear garden being mainly laid to lawn with flower borders and specimen trees, extending some distance away from the property. There is scope to create something very special in the garden, whether that be a home office, tennis court or further landscaping subject to the relevant consents.

The whole is a wonderful opportunity in need or improvement throughout and is offered with no onward chain.
