The Property

Willowdale is a generously proportioned detached family house offering over 2,600 sq ft over two floors and considered to offer further potential to extend, subject to the necessary consents, if desired.

The house is set back from the road behind a five-bar gate, with a good amount of off-road parking, plus attached double garage.

The garden lies predominantly to the rear of the house and backs onto private woodland, providing a delightful sylvan outlook to the rear. The plot extends to about 0.21 of an acre.

The front first floor rooms benefit from a far-reaching view to the South over fields.

The present owners have made various improvements to the property since they have owned it, including replacing the kitchen, laying engineered oak flooring in the sitting room, some roof, gutter and soffit/fascia replacements and electrical/lighting upgrades. Circumstances have prevented them from continuing with their plans to improve this property, leaving the next owners the opportunity to put their own stamp on the property and to complete unfinished projects.
