This imposing detached family home as been in the current family since the 70’s and is set on a large plot offering great scope for updating and extending subject to the usual consents. Set well back from the road with a sweeping drive and plenty of parking that leads to a double garage. The front door leads to the entrance hall with doors to the lounge, dining room and kitchen. The double aspect lounge features a large central fireplace and overlooks the front and side gardens. The dining room overlooks the rear gardens and there adjoins the kitchen. The kitchen/breakfast room has been refitted with a range of base and wall units with space for appliances and overlooks the side and rear gardens. On the first floor, the accommodation has been reconfigured and currently there are two double bedrooms and a single room, the fourth bedroom is used as a dressing room and there are two good sized bathrooms including the en-suite.
The outside space is a particular feature of the property. The plot extends to .69 of an acre and is mainly laid to lawn with a number of mature trees including Oak, Beech and a Flowering Tulip tree as well as smaller shrubs and well stocked borders. There is a double garage to the side as well as parking on the sweeping driveway with turning circle.

The property, in our opinion, offers great scope for extension with space to either side to substantially increase the living accommodation or to reconfigure the existing property layout subject to usual consents
