With the addition of a large detached garage, driveway and panoramic views to both the front and the rear, this really is an exceptional opportunity that is not to be missed.

To the rear is the fitted kitchen, complete with Aga and a compliment of integrated appliances. The adjoining utility room offers further storage, plumbing for a washing machine and conveniently placed guest W.C.
