One of these rooms offers a modern en suite bathroom, whilst a shower facility and a separate utility on the ground floor complete the rooms on offer in this charming and unique home.

A length of hedging fronts the lane, with a pedestrian gate opening onto a walkway which is flanked by areas of lawn and leads to the entrance portal. A wrought-iron gate marks the vehicular access onto a wide driveway which provides ample parking for at least four cars and gives access to the detached double garage. Much of the rear garden is grassed and interspersed with specimen and majestic mature trees, whilst beds contain attractive planting and clipped evergreen shrubs. A hedgerow at the far margin provides a natural boundary with glimpses to the open countryside beyond offering a borrowed landscape.
