A spacious and attractive, modern detached house, individually designed and constructed for the present owners in 1974 by a well-known local builder, situated in one of the most sought after villages in this part of the world, directly overlooking open fields to the front and to the rear very pretty

unspoilt woodland.

The property has been kept in 'apple pie' order by the present owners with the recent introduction of a number of replacement double glazed windows, fabulous American light oak parquet flooring to the reception hall, sitting, dining room and family room.

Special Features: The possibility of including the integral garage into the accommodation which could create a large kitchen/living room with, perhaps, the erection of a carport to the left hand side of the property, subject to local authority planning permission. * Family bathroom with Mira high-pressure pump shower and the en suite bathroom with its spa bath are all high quality modern fittings all the fittings are five years old. * The central heating boiler was replaced 5 years ago. * The unusually spacious master bedroom with doors to large under eaves storerooms or wardrobes, if required. * To the ground floor all the doors to the various rooms have been replaced with naturally polished pine doors with raised and fielded panels. * French doors open onto a pretty terrace and informal gardens to the rear. * This is a spacious, light, well kept family house.
