Internally, the home is beautifully presented, with our owners investing in improvements during their happy years here, leaving a contemporary haven with character features ready for you to enjoy. A huge opportunity lies in wait for the savvy purchaser looking to capitalise - pop the top and add a third bedroom, extend or even build your dream home with a stunning backdrop.
