Stairs to the first floor give access to all five bedrooms and the family bathroom and family shower room.

The master bedroom forms part of the recent extension and provides plenty of space with dimensions of 18’ 1” x 11’ 10”. To complete the master suite, there is a modern ensuite shower room as well as a walk-in wardrobe. Finally, servicing the remaining four bedrooms, there is a family bathroom and separate family shower room, both finished to a high standard with modern white suites. If desired, there is potential to create a second ensuite bedroom by reconfiguring to include the current shower room.

Externally, the property sits on a generous plot in a prime position in the heart of Whitley. Littleworth Lane forms a 'dead end road' with minimal passing traffic and many countryside walks accessible from the doorstep. The front aspect is mainly laid to gravel which provides ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles, whilst a ‘secret front garden’ is accessible from the kitchen and make for a private spot to enjoy throughout the day.
