The separate annexe, together with the additional leisure and working facilities, makes Four Winds a particularly appealing proposition.

The principal residence provides well-proportioned and adaptable accommodation arranged over two floors, with a particularly practical layout suited to modern family living.

The sitting room features an electric fire and provides a comfortable and inviting space in which to relax, with doors opening into a large garden room/orangery offering a versatile space which could be used for informal dining, relaxation or entertaining throughout the seasons.

The Annexe

These additional spaces considerably enhance the lifestyle offering, providing opportunities for exercise, working from home and entertaining family and friends without compromising the accommodation within the main residence.

Another noteworthy feature is the former swimming pool, which has been adapted to create a small football pitch. This provides an excellent recreational facility, particularly for families, although the pool could readily be reinstated to its former use if a future purchaser wishes to do so.

The combination of the separate garden areas, extensive parking, garage and additional leisure and working facilities creates an exceptionally versatile outdoor environment.
