Situated on top of The Droveway with views out to the Channel, this 3/ 4 bedroom semi-detached house, built in the 1930''s, has excellent living space, good size gardens front and rear and lots of potential for expansion, we think.
The house has 3 or 4 reception rooms comprising two lounges, a garden room, and a dining room. It also has a fitted kitchen, a downstairs cloakroom and a large storage area to the side of the house.
Its fully double glazed, has gas central heating with the boiler having been replaced in the last 2 years, a new bath room, cavity wall insulation and is in Council Tax band D.

The front porch provides a useful extra space for muddy boots and gives extra insulation to the hallway. The floor is tiled.

Side Storage Area: 5.24m (17ft 2in) x 2.71m (8ft 11in)
This area has doors to the front and the rear of the property. Its a very useful intermediate area between the garden and the kitchen.
