Property Description
Set in a premier tree lined road, a most attractive 3/4 bedroom Tudor style detached house of immense charm and character. The property retains many of its original features and also benefits from planning permission (07/1943/FUL). This would allow the garage to be converted into a study/family room with access to the kitchen which can be enlarged. A dormer window would enlarge bedroom three and the toilet/airing cupboard could be converted into a shower room.
