4 bedroom detached house for sale

This individual and well-presented detached family house occupies a quiet setting that is no more than a five-minute walk from the town centre. The house was built in 1991 and benefits from a generous plot that provides a private driveway, attached garage and spacious garden. A large covered porch has been added since the house was built but we believe there to be further opportunities to extend and enhance the accommodation, subject to planning and building consents.

The accommodation is set around a central stairwell with an excellent arrangement of rooms providing family accommodation on two floors. There is a newly fitted open plan kitchen with adjacent utility room, two reception rooms, four bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms, including an en-suite with the master bedroom. A generous gated driveway delivers off-road parking and there is an attached garage and a spacious garden to the rear. The garage footprint may offer the opportunity to extend the living accommodation on two levels and a rear extension may also be possible.
