THE PROPERTY An extremely well extended and modernised DETACHED FAMILY RESIDENCE finished to a very high standard and offering spacious family accommodation. This individual property benefits from open plan living space on the ground floor which is increasingly popular together with a very well fitted kitchen/breakfast room which like the dining room has bi-fold doors opening out to the rear garden.
Two of the bedrooms have well fitted en-suite shower rooms incorporating hair dryers and there is a contemporary fitted family bathroom. The house also has a central hoover system with points in most rooms, gas fired underfloor heating on the ground floor and skirting heating on the first floor. There are engineered oak floors in all principal rooms and the windows and doors are solid oak double glazed units. A burglar alarm system is also fitted.
