Routs Green Farm is a unique opportunity to purchase a home offering an abundance of character features, blended with modern interiors and flexible living space.

The other staircase provides access to two further bedrooms which share the use of the family bathroom. Bedroom four is on the ground floor and enjoys an attractive outlook over the properties gardens.
