Description

St James Gate is a mixed development of town houses and apartments, completed in 2005 by Heronsbrook. Situated behind a gated entrance, this sought after development provides an ideal location for those requiring access to local shopping facilities and a main line station. Under the current ownership, the property has been modernised and refurbished and provides a very comfortable open plan kitchen and family area, with glazed atrium, overlooking the landscaped, south west facing garden. We thoroughly recommend this property for its location, presentation and appointment.

To the front is a block paved driveway fronting the garage, with a small herbaceous garden to one side. At the rear, is a circular paved terrace with lawns forming the remainder of the garden, interspersed with mature shrubs. The garden provides a southerly west aspect.
