Property description

Fairchildes is a delightfully situated detached chalet style residence of character with spacious and adaptable accommodation.



On the ground floor is a master bedroom, bathroom and lobby, charming sitting room, spacious dining room, kitchen and conservatory. On the first floor are three further bedrooms and a second bathroom with separate WC. Many of the windows are double glazed replacement units and there is a gas fired central heating system.



The property was built in 1966 to an interesting and individual design and offers ideal accommodation for both retirement or a family.
