A modern four bedroom detached house with five reception areas and a games room with annexe potential, set in landscaped gardens with driveway parking and an attached double garage.

The accommodation of approximately 3,824 sq. ft. includes an entrance hall with the staircase with a feature arched window and doors to the study, a utility room leading to a shower room, the kitchen/breakfast/family room and the sitting/dining room.

The house is situated in the centre of the plot which is approximately 0.34 acres in size. The gardens are enclosed by wooden fences and mature hedges and mainly laid to lawn and interspersed with mature trees.
