Besbury Park is a cul-de-sac of detached houses and bungalows understood to have been built in the early 1970’s, and the road now offers a pleasant and mature setting within walking distance of the town centre and the National Trust commons. This particular property has been extended and enlarged on its original footprint by previous owners and today stands as a well-proportioned, four-bedroom family home.

The front half of the room has a central focal fireplace with decorative surround, whilst the rear half is used as a dining area with patio doors opening onto the garden.

There is a connecting door to a single garage within this room too.

All four bedrooms are of double proportions, with the master being accompanied by an en-suite shower room and fitted wardrobes. There is a family bathroom to complete the accommodation, which comprises a white suite with a shower over the bath.
