The Property
This period style maisonette is one of four built by highly regarded Cheltenham based Clifton Homes in 1989.

In recent years the shower room has been refitted and the kitchen units refreshed. It is presented in excellent order throughout. The central location with a garage, parking and outside sitting space make this a much sought after home.
