5 bedroom detached house for sale

Available for the first time on the market, Burbank offers a unique opportunity to purchase a family home right in the heart of Kingswood. Approached via a sweeping driveway, the property is set in a secluded 0.75 acre plot, surrounded by mature gardens.

Built at the beginning of 1970, with substantial additions including a swimming pool complex in the early 1980s, the property boasts a butterfly roof and encapsulates the seventies era, complete with original features.

Entering the property, the large reception hall has a double height ceiling creating a light, airy space.
