The third bedroom
Located adjacent to the second bedroom, the third bedroom is a lovely double room with large Velux windows overlooking the rear courtyard and the front garden. This room also benefits from a large built-in wardrobe and under-eaves storage.

The garden
The gardens at The Parlour are one of its most striking assets. Enclosed by a brick wall and mature hedging, they provide privacy, colour and space in abundance. Lawns are framed by thoughtfully arranged borders brimming with seasonal planting, with a blend of roses, shrubs, perennials and climbers offering year-round interest.

A charming patio runs along the home, ideal for outdoor dining or morning coffee. Beyond this, a large circular seating area enjoys full views of the front garden, including the lawn, ornamental trees and mature well stocked borders.

The courtyard
To the rear of the property, a further garden space offers a more intimate and sheltered setting. Bordered by red-brick walls and trailing ivy, this courtyard-style area includes a paved terrace perfect for container gardening and additional raised beds for herbs and vegetables. A stable door leads directly into the utility room and cloakroom, allowing this space to serve as a practical and peaceful retreat.

The driveway and parking
Approached through a gated gravel driveway, the property enjoys excellent privacy. The drive provides ample space for multiple vehicles. The integral garage has direct access to the utility and cloakroom and provides an additional storage area or extra parking.
