About
Occupying a generous mature plot and set back from the road behind electrically operated gates, this substantially extended and remodelled detached family residence offers impressive accommodation extending to a gross floor area of approximately 3,335 sq ft, including five bedrooms and a host of striking design features.

Externally, the house is complemented by extensive parking to the front and a generously proportioned lawned rear garden with a superb terrace and hot tub.
This is an exceptional family home in a sought-after and supremely convenient location. We understand that mains water, gas, electricity and drainage are connected to the property.
