Property Description

The Haven was built in 1900 and is a splendid mock Tudor semi detached house

situated within a highly sought after location affording splendid views across the

surrounding woodland and countryside.

The house is set back from the road behind a lawned foregarden with beautiful planted

beds, specimen trees and enclosed by a hedged and walled perimeter. A triple width

driveway gives access to the detached double garage and additional parking to the side

and from where paved pedestrian paths wind though the foregarden giving access to

the front door which is set under a pitched roofed storm porch. The accommodation

was sympathetically extended in 1990 to create a lovely light and airy environment ideal

for family living or perhaps even to run a Bed and Breakfast business. Internally the

well presented accommodation benefits from gas central heating and partial double

glazing.

The foregarden has a gravel patio with a paved circular area from where the

pleasantries of the setting can be enjoyed. The grounds which extends to 0.3 of an

acre continues to the side and rear of the property taking in its stunning setting (to be
