Built around 2007/2008 as one of only two adjacent newly built properties, with its neo-Georgian symmetrical and gault brick façade it portrays quality, class and style from the moment you open the front gates. On entering the house and throughout, the vibrant and stylish décor exudes the use of high end materials and high quality.
Although originally built to a high standard and finish, our vendors, in the last five years, through a personal desire and lifestyle choice have made further updates and improvements using only the highest standard and quality of materials and latest fixtures – including lighting system. They wanted to ensure that any changes they made have had longevity.
