Summary

Guide price of £725,000 - £735,000

A very well presented and loved four bedroom detached house which the current owner has enjoyed living in for over twenty years.
The house has a welcoming feel to it and is in a very quiet cul-de-sac with just 8 houses and friendly neighbours in it.
Planning permission was granted many years ago to extend the property which would increase the footprint of the house significantly and would lend itself to many options.
The house is perfectly situated for easy access to the local village, schools, busses, and lots of rural walks. The garden is well stocked with mature shrubs in good growing conditions.
