Tree House, on the market with Humberts, was originally built in the 1970s and sits in a south-eastern facing aspect overlooking the countryside. In total, the plot extends to around 2.37 acres.

The house has been in the same ownership for around 50 years now and so presents and ideal opportunity for buyers wanting to modernise, extend and put their own stamp on a property.
