Property description
Tucked away in an unrivalled level setting beside an historic green, a 1990 individual 4 double bedroom detached house with an Elizabethan style facade featuring 4 reception rooms in a part walled garden - High Street within 0.35 mile.
Description
Tastefully decorated and presented, this is a rare chance to acquire a true family sized home in a prestigious location, the present owners having been in occupation since new. Important characteristics range from the kitchen diner and utility room refitted by Optiplan, to the two full bathrooms, the en-suite having been refitted to an elegant design. Apart from the en-suite, all the rooms are independently accessed from the reception hall or landing. Additional facets include the Sharps bespoke furniture as detailed below, the white internal doors to a six panel design, security alarm system, double glazing with leaded lights to the front and the gas heating system with radiators. This makes for a flexibly planned and highly comfortable home just around the corner from so many of the town's amenities.
