Stoney Drive was built in 2010 and has been owned by the same family ever since. The property was built using structural insulated panels (SIPs), has solar panels providing electricity and receives its hot water from an air source heat pump making this an extremely cost effective house to run. Good quality oak timber-work has been used in the flooring, doors and staircase.

At the front of the house the main front door enters the entrance hall were there is ample storage and the bespoke oak and glass staircase rising to the first floor. On the right hand side of the hall there is the kitchen dining and living room which is a sociable and spacious living area. The kitchen has plenty of fitted units with an island and integral appliances including an electric oven, induction hob and coffee machine. There is a large fridge freezer and new Miele dishwasher which could be made available by further negotiation. From the kitchen there are French doors leading out to the garden. Internally, there is plenty of space for relaxed seating by the wood burning stove, as well as room for a dining table too.

The utility houses the heat recovery unit as well as having plumbing for a washing machine and a door leading out to the parking. There are two rooms downstairs which were designed as bedrooms with a shower next door. However, they could easily be utilised for hobby room use or even as an extra living room/snug. Upstairs there are two comfortable double bedrooms, each enjoying their own en-suite shower rooms and ample storage.

A tarmac driveway, over which the property has a right of access, leads up from the village lane round to the gravelled parking area which is large enough to park four vehicles.
