The property measures 950 square foot and is a detached two-bedroom bungalow. It is a well-maintained property with accommodation as follows: A dual-aspect sitting room with a (closed) fireplace, a kitchen with space for a breakfast table and French doors to the garden, a WC and two bedrooms, both with en-suite facilities.

Greenoaks is a large bungalow which is sat in grounds that measure around a quarter of an acre.
The property is in need of some modernisation but is large at 1592 square feet and has a super layout including: four bedrooms, two bath/shower rooms, a utility room, a WC, a large kitchen/dining room and a large sitting room with a fireplace. Much of the property has parquet flooring.
Arable land (title number: EX682859)
A 7.3-acre arable field with access via Oakfield Drive. The land is subject to an overage agreement which was imposed by a previous owner. This runs until 2042; please ask for more details.
THE OPPORTUNITY

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on April 9, 2024
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. 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
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
