The house, built of brick and block under a tiled roof, offers versatile accommodation over three floors, and our clients have owned the house for almost twenty years. It enjoys a modern layout with intercommunicating ‘open plan’ living space comprising a galleried reception hall, large drawing room with fireplace and a large kitchen/dining/family room opening onto the garden.
