Overview
About 4 Millwright Close
This well-proportioned residence was constructed just over 20 years ago and the accommodation amounts to a staggering 3,300sq.ft. (approx.). It stands within a gated courtyard of 5 individually designed homes constructed by well-regarded local builders SB Homes. There are just two waterside plots, of which this is one, and it has absolutely stunning views across the former millpond and woodland beyond which attract an array of birds and wildlife which you can watch from the comfort of your armchair, or sit out on the balcony and enjoy the soothing sounds of the water as it makes its way out over the weir. The property itself has been well maintained and further enhanced by the current owners who have installed energy saving devices including an air source heat pump serving an under floor central heating system, solar panels, and an EV charger. There is a huge amount of accommodation which is suitable for a family who like to entertain whilst also providing ample room to retreat to your own space. There is a large integral double garage with parking in front, access to a sizeable balcony at first floor level with a workshop beneath, very pleasant gardens overlooking the pond, and a greenhouse.
