Full Description

This versatile, semi-detached property provides comfortable accommodation in the main house along with two annexes (one self-contained) that could provide an additional income if required or accommodation for dependent relatives. There is also a superb, light, multi-functional room with exposed A frame roof timbers and an en-suite that is located above the garage, which would lend itself to a variety of uses, ideal as a art/dance studio or family function room.
