Offering great room sizes, a lovely mature garden and ample parking to the front, this spacious four bedroom detached house is an ideal family home. Large windows and the generously proportioned layout create a real feeling of light and space throughout the house, particularly in the large hall and landing above. The hall is accessed via a porch, and includes a ground floor shower room/wc. The main living room spans the full depth of the house, extending to almost 19ft. The separate dining room is accessed via folding doors, and double doors open to the conservatory, overlooking the well screened mature back garden. There is a good sized kitchen and a similar sized adjacent utility room, which has a door leading to the 16ft attached garage. There are four first floor bedrooms and a family bathroom. The appealing gardens are a particular feature of the property, and include a large summer room with a mediterranean decor, tiled floor and vine, creating a fantastic outdoor entertaining and dining area. The gardens feature several secluded seating areas, with the thoughtfully designed layout creating a lovely, tranquil environment for the summer months. This impressive home offers such a relaxing lifestyle and really must be viewed to be appreciated.

Council Tax pays for multiple services in the property's local authority with only part of it going to the council itself. Residences within a Parish or Town Council area have an additional charge to fund the body. Each parish/town council has a different budget and imposes different fees. Not all councils have parishes/town councils and this varies across the country.
In instances where parish/town councils do affect the council tax value and we do not have the exact figure, we present council tax data with the below highlights. Take care to confirm which is being presented by the dashboard as this will need to be made clear to your clients:
avg - When we indicate the Council Tax price is 'avg', it means we have not been able to obtain an exact figure, so this number represents the mean value of Council Tax across the council for that property band. The exact figure will be slightly higher or lower because each parish/town council is priced differently.
min - When we indicate the Council Tax is a 'min', it represents the known amount that the council sets for itself, but excludes the parish/town council cost which we have not been able to obtain. The additional cost will need to be considered as it will be greater than the indicated price.
