Set on an elevated site of around half an acre, this home has beautifully-maintained mature gardens, and from the rear, enjoys wonderful views across the surrounding countryside.

The likely reason it is so spacious is that it has been twice extended since its construction in 2001 It is heated via an oil-fired system, and worth noting is that the house has been newly fitted with a condenser oil boiler.

The kitchen has fitted wall and floor units, a tiled splashback and tiled floor.

There are four bedrooms, although one is currently in use as a dining room. The three other bedrooms are all spacious, and the master has an ensuite bathroom with electric shower.

The main family bathroom contains a white three-piece suite.
