Main Description: The House: Our clients have extended and significantly updated this home during their ownership and the end result is a high-quality family home which offers a sizeable accommodation not readily apparent from the front. An extended porch provides a useful storage area for outside coats and shoes etc... With further access to a welcoming entrance hall. There is an individual reception room positioned to the front and also a large open plan kitchen, living and dining area to the rear. There has been a formal loft conversion which has resulted in three well-proportioned bedrooms, the master of which is to the second floor, is particularly large, includes an en suite shower room and superb far-reaching views to the rear. The rear garden has been landscaped and finished in a low maintenance style. Internally great thought has been put into the provision for storage which is a very rare characteristic. In summary this home offers many excellent characteristics it is finished to a modern standard and an early viewing should be considered essential.
