NO FURTHER CHAIN!

On the first floor there is a landing area, three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. There are excellent village and country lane walks from the front door - ideal as you do not need to put the kids or the dogs in the car!

About this agent
SUCCESSFULLY SELLING AND LETTING PROPERTY IN WEST LONDON SINCE 1983 Welcome to our webpage; we'll get as close as we possibly can to extending the same type of warm welcome you'd receive if you popped into our offices in Acton, Ealing, Greenford, Isleworth, or Northfields. That's our patch, and it's a patch we know well, having opened our first office in Ealing over 30 years ago. Things were very different then: we were without the Internet and with a full postbag, but the fundamentals of estate agency have remained the same. We still pride ourselves on being a local, independent agency with client service, communication and integrity as our core values. Whatever your property interests - residential or commercial, sales or lettings, property management or new homes, you'll find something of interest here.
