When a world war 2 bomb was detonated nearby early in 2021 the property suffered some damage and has since been upgraded with various new windows, as well as being redecorated throughout. There are also surveys relating to this and these show that the property is in excellent condition. It also has an “A” energy efficiency rating.

Outside

At the front of the house there is a block-paved driveway and turning space that allows for ample parking and access to the integrated double garage. The beautiful rear garden is mainly south facing and has been landscaped by the current owners. The garden is terraced and features a range of exotic and tropical plants, shrubs and trees, as well as areas of lawn and patio. Adjacent to the house there are steps that meander up through the garden to vegetable patches and to a further terrace that provides a wonderful vantage point to enjoy the setting. The mature trees and bamboo borders help to create an oasis of peace and seclusion.
