4 bedroom detached house

Built in the early 1950's to the vendors specification, this very handsome red-brick bay fronted home has been owned by the same family since it was constructed and has never previously been available to buy. Historically known as 'La Fayette', the property now represents an exceptional development opportunity for the next owner and subject to planning permission, this beautiful home can be significantly enlarged. The house stands proudly some 60 feet back from the road surrounded by private grounds in excess of a third of an acre. The plot width extends to 60 feet and there is a very large and secluded rear garden of 155 feet.
