Description

Glebelands is a relatively small development constructed in 1998 consisting of well-spaced and well-maintained detached family homes in what were the grounds of Glebe House, and has always been a sought after location for the peaceful ambience and proximity to the town centre.

In addition to central heating, air conditioning has been installed in many of the rooms, the principal bedroom en suite and dressing room has been made over into a large and impressive wet room with a walk-in shower, a large and versatile garden room has been added to the rear and the kitchen updated. There is also lift access between floors (can be removed), a luxurious covered swim spa in the garden and a solar PV system. Finally, if you are working from home, you never need worry about power cuts again as a diesel powered generator has been installed.
