PARTICULARS OF SALE

Built in 1978 this imposing 4 bedroom family home sits in an elevated position overlooking Iburndale and affords beautiful views over open countryside. The steep drive down is somewhat daunting but without doubt worth it as it leads to this wonderful property. Despite its hillside location, the house sits on a relatively level site with generous gardens to the front, a detached garage and parking for a large number of vehicles in a roughly central position within the 10 acres of pasture land. The rooms are all of very generous proportions and although there is updating required this is largely decorative to suit the individual requirements and there is the benefit of oil central heating and uPVC double glazing throughout.

Like the house the general purpose shed is central to the site which again allows good level access and is a large and very useful building, whilst the barn offers shelter off the lower fields.
