Description: Highbank a detached 1970s family house with brick external elevations beneath a tiled roof and double-glazed window and doors throughout. The property benefits from being well screened from the road and has lovely well established gardens that wrap around the house. The house provides spacious accommodation of 1,453sq.ft/135sq.m (plus a double garage) and has obviously been well maintained over the years, but now requires some general updating and also offers excellent scope for remodelling and enlargement, if required, by creating an open plan kitchen/dining/family room or extending to the side or rear of the house.
Arranged over two floors the accommodation includes on the ground floor a spacious entrance hall with parquet flooring, understairs storage and doors leading: a cloakroom; a dining room with a bay window overlooking the attractive front gardens and built-in cupboards and shelving; a kitchen/breakfast room with a range of wall and base units, window overlooking the rear garden and door leading to a conservatory, which leads out to the driveway and garage; and a good-sized, double aspect sitting room which has a bay window to the front, fireplace (gas connected) and sliding doors leading out to the rear garden. On the first floor there is a spacious landing, four double bedrooms and a shower room.
Outside, there is a tarmac driveway providing parking for several cars leading to a double garage with power connected, two up and over doors and a side door leading out to the rear garden. There are side gates giving access to both front and rear gardens. The gardens wrap around the house and are a real feature of the property with well-established flower borders. The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped and planted with a variety of shrubs and border plants. The garden is fully fenced and mainly laid to lawn with terraced area, a greenhouse and a garden shed.

The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
