About
This 3 bedroom semi detached house was built in 1934 on an elevated position in West Hill and so it has the most wonderful panoramic and far reaching views.

Therefore, this is a wonderful opportunity for the next owner to enjoy a most comfortable home which can be occupied with the minimum of expense.
