House For Sale £1,025,000
Set back nearly 100ft from the London Road, behind a wide greensward and with the front Drive and Garden itself nearly 60ft deep too, this 5 Bedroom Detached Chalet style House also offers great kerbside appeal, courtesy of a double height feature Gable, the majority glasswork and thus giving a stylish and contemporary twist to the front elevation.
