A modern detached property with a double garage and off street parking, set in 1.78 acres of garden and wild meadow in an AONB, in an elevated position in Loosley Row with far reaching countryside views. The property was built in 1996 and has 2,878 sq. ft. of accommodation over two floors. One of two properties, it has brick and flint walls under a clay tile roof.
