4 bedroom detached house

Pooks Hill on Riseway is a unique home constructed in the 1950's to the vendors own specification, and then in the mid 1980's the property was adapted and further enlarged. The house, which is of non-traditional construction, is set back off the road and enjoys a very private but convenient setting. The house is surrounded by mature gardens extending to a 1/4 of an acre, enjoying fine views to the rear and a south westerly orientation.
