With a further double bedroom and bathroom on the first floor. The majority of rooms are to the south and provide direct access to the garden.

The property enjoys gas fired central heating, uPVC double-glazing, and solar panels to rear roof providing an income from a feed-in tariff. There is a delightful, landscaped rear garden with a number of outbuildings including a studio room, summer house, brick-built garage and timber shed.
