During this time it has been extremely well maintained with replacement uPVC windows plus hard wearing Amtico and Karndean flooring has been laid to the hall, sitting room and kitchen/breakfast room.
The property has also been improved by re-configuration of the ground floor to provide a utility and fabulous walk in pantry plus combining two bedrooms into one, on the first floor, to create a large master bedroom.

The main body of the gardens lie to the rear of the property where there is a large paved sun terrace creating an excellent alfresco entertainment area plus a large lawn with curving well stocked borders, ornamental pond and planted with a variety of trees including a black walnut.
