Description
The house has been enjoyed as a family home for many years and offers scope for extension subject to the necessary planning consents. The spacious accommodation would give a family easy access to the local schools, shops and mainline station as well as plenty of grounds for all to enjoy. The vendors' sole agents would recommend an early inspection as properties of this type are rarely available in a convenient location with such large gardens.
