The newly refurbished kitchen has attractive oak beams to the ceiling and vinyl flooring with a good range of fitted base and wall units with worksurfaces having inset stainless steel sink and electric hob with extractor hood above and integrated electric oven. A door gives access to the rear of the house. The main entrance door leads into the conservatory on the front of the house which is south facing offering a lovely living space with superb outlook.

The current owners have re-landscaped the outdoor space to provide a new vehicular access off Lower Road providing a wide entrance and newly surfaced driveway leading up into a large parking area set to the side of the house. An area to the front of the house has been seeded with grass to provide a lawned sitting out area. There is timber fencing running down each side of the property and hedging along the rear boundary.
