Situated on a lovely mature plot set back from the lane down a lengthy private driveway approach, is this substantial four bedroomed detached dormer bungalow which has been in the occupation of the current vendors since it was built in the 1950's.  Gas centrally heated  the accommodation comprises reception hall, lounge, breakfast kitchen, dining room, master bedroom and bathroom; on the first floor the large landing/study leads to two further bedrooms.  The property has been well maintained but would benefit from some further refurbishment and it is considered that there is great potential for redevelopment of the site and therefore the opportunity for somebody to create their own substantial dwelling in this superb setting.
