Other Benefits
Each room in the house has CAT5e structured cabling for computer networking and the property enjoys a full fibre Internet connection offering speeds currently up to 1Gbit/s.
External Benefits
There are a whole host of external benefits to this home, starting with the 1/2 plot surrounding the home! The garden is impressive in each direction and remarkably unoverlooked with potential for seating and entertaining areas in each direction. The patio area is a great space for a table and chairs, and the current owners have crafted a ‘floating decking’ which makes clever use of the gradient of the garden. The driveway is gated and stretches long enough to park 10+ vehicles!
There is a log cabin summer house in the garden with electricity supply and network cabling back to the Annex.
There is so much of this home to be appreciated but only by visiting the property will you feel the full effect of all that’s on offer. Call us today to book a viewing!
