Julian Walley, of agents Lesters, said: “The current owners have made many improvements since they have been there, including fitting a new kitchen with a range cooker and double Belfast sink, and underfloor heating.

A family room has doors to the garden and there is also a sitting room with a bay window, four double bedrooms and a bathroom.
