Built in the 1970’s of Bradstone under a pitched tiled roof, Latchmore House is set well back from the lane and stands in a plot of approximately half an acre. Within the last eighteen months the house has been completely refurbished, works including opening up the kitchen and dining room into one room, the installation of a new Howden kitchen with Lamona induction hob and extractor fan, and wood laminate flooring in the hall and kitchen/dining room. Latchmore House has a modern pressurized plumbing and heating system and has been replastered and redecorated throughout the first floor; new carpets have recently been fitted as has a new family bathroom suite.
The property is approached off the lane through stone pillars onto a tarmac car parking/turning area adjoining which is the integral double garage. To the left of the garage the property is bordered with close boarded fencing while the rest of the property has been fenced and is flanked by a mixture of laurel and indigenous hedging. The garden which has been imaginatively landscaped is principally to lawn, with the recent addition of a large stone secluded terrace accessed from both the sitting room and the rear hall. Other works include establishment of laurel hedging to the south and east boundaries.
