An extended three bedroom 1920's semi-detached house situated in this lovely village within a short walk (about 400 metres) of the village shop. The property has undergone an extensive programme of repair/renovation within the past three years to include a new main roof and new flat roofs, new gas boiler, new garden fencing and complete garden landscaping, new electric roller door and security personnel door to the garage, installation of a multi-fuel stove, renovation of front and back doors including new locks, new carpets and decoration to the lounge and first floor. The house is something of an unfinished project, the owners having had a change of circumstances and therefore an opportunity exists to complete the renovations required to the kitchen and bathroom. The house offers good room sizes and makes a fabulous home for first time buyers or young families. The lovely garden faces almost due south and has areas for growing produce with large raised beds, a greenhouse, two seating areas, a lawn and a wildlife pond and hedgehog corner at the far end.
