Tucked away in a particularly private position, this lovely family home is set on a plot that in total extends to around 4.6 acres.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom is of generous proportions with a modern en suite off to the side. There are then three further double bedrooms which are served by a well proportioned family bathroom/w.c. To the side of the house there is a large detached outbuilding suitable for a variety of uses or indeed development into further accommodation, subject to gaining all the necessary consents. Believed to originate as a substantial laundry, this building is currently used as a large garage with workshop and storage space and loft rooms above. In front of the house there is a formal lawned garden, beyond which is a seldom used Green Lane and the 3.6 acre grass paddock that forms part of the property.
