The development is one of the few developments by Starrett for Hyndewood, a development company rival to Span, with the houses here arranged in small groups of ‘staggered’ terraces for maximum privacy. Talking of privacy, the houses are also in a quiet setting away from the main road.

Anyway, enough of the history, let’s look at the house currently on the market. That’s a mix of the old and the new as a result of work undertaken by its architect owner. Key features saved and maintained, with updates and modernisation elsewhere. A lovely job, all told.
