THE PROPERTY

Buyers who work from home or who frequently have long-staying visitors may also be interested in the 228-square foot studio annex which was converted from what was a double garage. This has windows to two elevations and a shower room. (An integral single garage remains).

The property and the annex sit within a plot that measures 0.27-acres and which abuts school playing fields on its north-western boundary.
