The first floor includes the airy principal bedroom with triple glazed bay and sash windows and built-in wardrobes. There are two further bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. Continuing to the second floor, two further bedrooms are serviced by a contemporary shower room. There is also a storage room under the eaves and access to a large storage space beneath the pitch of the main roof.

Outside, to the front there is a gravel driveway with ample parking that is separated from the road by mature hedging and has side access to the rear. The landscaped rear garden has a paved terrace and is mainly laid to lawn and bordered by mature trees and hedges. At the end of the garden is a substantial shed for storage.

The property benefits from modern solar panel technology, which generates household electricity during the day and charges batteries with energy that can be used overnight.
