The lower ground floor provides flexible accommodation and comprises a family room and gym with sauna and shower room. There is also an independent entrance to a courtyard area.
The house is set back from the road and is well screened by mature trees and hedging providing an excellent degree of privacy. Sitting centrally within its plot the property is approached via electric gates over a tarmacadam driveway with parking for several cars. There is also a detached double garage. The property benefits from an attractive outlook to the front while to the rear the established south-facing garden is principally laid to lawn with mature hedging creating an extremely private aspect.
