About
“The newly completed principal suite is a lovely addition to this family home, while the south-facing garden, ample parking and proximity to Merrow Downs and excellent schools make it particularly appealing.
The scope to enlarge the ground floor, subject to the necessary consents, offers further potential for the future.” Anthony Brown - Chantries & Pewleys The entrance hall leads to a front-facing sitting room with a wide bay window, allowing plenty of natural light into the room.
A separate dining room features timber flooring and French doors opening onto the rear terrace, creating an inviting setting for family meals and entertaining.
