A Striking detached residence set in mature and private grounds of 0.8 acres.

Set central to the plot and discreetly located up a private drive, the property is a one off architect designed, detached house built in the early 1960’s. Characterised by its very light and spacious accommodation the house enjoys generous proportions over two floors and a wealth of potential to modernise and extend subject to planning permission. Approaching the house from the private drive, one is immediately struck by its scale and position within substantial grounds and the Cotswold stone details. The house has a conventional layout with a welcoming central hallway with the principal reception spaces off.

A purpose-built detached garden house is adjacent to the house and could be converted into a home office.
