This deceptively modern house remains true to its original design and architectural individuality. It has not been extended or developed since its construction in the 1970’s and could, subject to planning, be enlarged and reimagined. Unusually the house can be accessed from both the ground floor and first floor levels.
The house has been designed to maximise the outstanding views with the living area on the entry level having a door to the balcony from which to further enjoy the views. This room benefits from a vaulted ceiling with both the height and fine timbered beams adding to its feeling of spaciousness. There is a principal bedroom and bathroom on this level together with a home office and a cloakroom. The ground floor has the remainder of the bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The house has had a new kitchen and new bathrooms installed recently. It is presented in excellent order throughout.

The main garden is level with two sections. The first is the former tennis court which is mainly laid to grass with mature hedging separating this from the vegetable garden beyond. The plot ends with a stone wall adjoining Rodborough Common.
