restored with upgrades to include hard wired ethernet cables, under floor
heating, a second floor, modern kitchen with granite worktop and integrated
appliances plus utility and two shower rooms one being an ensuite to the
master bedroom.
_Accommodation_ Now, i've been in this industry for more years than I can
remember and there are words we as agents aren't supposed to use due to it
being a cardinal sin. Can you guess what they are?
Its anything like large/huge or vast but i'm going to use them and just cross
my fingers I don't get into trouble.
Thoughtfully, brought back to life by the current occupiers you can literally
feel the love that has gone into the renovations. Having been sympathetically
restored with upgrades to include hard wired ethernet cables, under floor
heating, solid oak doors and flooring, a second floor, modern kitchen with
granite worktop and integrated appliances plus utility and two shower rooms
one being an ensuite to the master bedroom. The property is listed meaning
that all the changes that have been made behind its single storey exterior
have been done with the upmost care whilst still creating a real wow moment
when you walk in. I was blown away by the vast size of this plot, its huge and
