Built in 1928, this detached family home sits in the centre of its plot, surrounded by enclosed gardens. The main entrance is at the side of the house and opens into a light hallway.

A useful larder and WC fit into the understairs space.
Adjacent to the kitchen is the family room - an extension to the original house - with windows on all sides, French-style doors onto a rear garden terrace and a door into the utility on one side.
