Description - This detached chalet style residence presents elevations of brick but mainly painted render, partly clad with UPVC for ease of maintenance, with both double and triple glazed windows, all beneath a tiled roof. The original core is understood to date from the 1950's with later modifications including conversion of the roof space. The property has most recently been tastefully modernised and remodelled and now offers bright, spacious and versatile accommodation which is very well presented. Other improvements include extensive upgrades to the plumbing system, new oak doors to many of the rooms along with new pine window sills, again to many of the rooms. The house is complimented by large level well stocked south facing gardens which are quite secluded and mainly to the rear. To the front there is a detached garage and ample parking including for a motor home/caravan. This is certainly a property that needs to be viewed internally to be fully appreciated.
