THE PROPERTY
Dating from 1970, this modern detached house has been extended, updated and improved to form a fine family home. The open-plan kitchen/breakfast room, dining room and family room provide an outstanding centre of operations for modern family life and are complemented by a good sitting room, study and utility room. The tri-fold doors from the kitchen to the rear garden are an attractive feature.
The master suite comprises bedroom, bathroom and dressing room and the other three bedrooms are served by a well appointed family shower room with huge walk-in shower.
Constructed of insulated cavity brickwork under a tiled roof (the garage and study are under a flat roof), the house benefits from uPVC double-glazed windows and gas fired central heating with additional electric underfloor heating to the kitchen, utility and study.
