To the first floor one finds a good sized landing area with doors opening to four bedrooms, three being doubles, with the rear bedrooms enjoying wonderful views, and the three-piece house bathroom. There is a large, part boarded loft area which could be developed to create a master suite (STPC). Outside the house enjoys a wonderful, mature rear garden with attractive borders, very well stocked with mature shrubs, plants and trees. There is a large, manicured lawn area, paved patio, ideal for al fresco dining, and timber shed providing storage. To the front of the property one finds a pretty, tiered foregarden with mature trees maintaining privacy. Adjacent to the property there is a driveway providing off road parking and double garage with electric, up and over door, power and lighting providing excellent storage.
