Patio doors open seamlessly onto a south-west facing Indian sandstone terrace, a true sun trap during the warmer months. Enclosed by quality fencing, the garden enjoys a wonderful sense of privacy, making it an ideal space for both quiet relaxation and social occasions.

The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged, with three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys views over the garden and benefits from a beautifully appointed en suite, finished with stylish tiling, a double shower with drench head, and a sleek vanity unit.
