Riescar Villa is the quintessential traditional farmhouse style family home and is one for which the initial kerb appeal does not disappoint once you step foot inside. The accommodation on offer is well presented throughout and blends modern family living with well proportioned rooms, while not losing the character you come to expect with a home of this age. There is also scope to extend the property further, or (subject to relevant permissions) the detached double garage to the rear allows for potential to convert to a granny annex.
