The modern Shower Room comprises a stylish walk-in shower with a frameless enclosure, a WC and wash hand basin. There is a Cloakroom for added convenience.

At the front of the property is an attractive lawned garden with well-stocked flower and shrub borders, a driveway large enough to comfortably park a motorhome and 3 other vehicles together with a Double Garage.

The spectacular west-facing rear garden is a particular feature with a large, level lawn bounded by neatly cut hedgerows and other areas which include a well-kept vegetable garden with a Greenhouse, a Workshop / Home Office and raised garden bed.
