This plot offers buyers the chance to create superb kerb appeal by creating a modern design with clean architectural lines and extensive glazing, intended to maximise light and views.
Outside, the plot's 0.4-acre size offers superb potential for landscaped gardens, outdoor seating areas, and additional design elements such as garden studios, terraces or play spaces (subject to planning). The Aviary gives you the foundation to create a home that is truly yours.
