Subject to planning it may be possible to open the kitchen into the dining room.

On the first floor there are three bedrooms and a newly fitted bathroom with the third bedroom currently being used as a study. The property has been well maintained and updated by the current owner who has replaced the septic tank and thatch, as well as re-wiring and re-plumbing.

The pretty garden is south-east facing and mainly laid to lawn with a variety of shrubs and fruit trees including apple, pear and plum. It is wonderfully private and partly walled to the south. There is a useful garden room/home office with terrace, a single garage and garden store/former garage. Planning was granted in April 2024 to replace the former garage.
