An unassuming four-bedroom mid-century home, beautifully concealed within a secluded and partially wooded plot of just under an acre. Commissioned by the current owner in the 60s and measuring approximately 1,900 sq ft set across a single floor, with two large private gardens, off-street parking and an integral garage.

The house is designed in two sections; to one side, an open-plan living and dining area, kitchen, utility room and breakfast room, and to the other, sleeping accommodation.

A later addition to the house, contains a utility room and breakfast room, with a large skylight that punctures a pitched, wood-clad ceiling. From here, double-glazed doors which open onto a substantial paved area of the garden, perfectly positioned to take advantage of the garden’s visiting birdlife; local residents include goldfinch, song thrush and the great spotted woodpecker.
