Two well-proportioned bedrooms are located downstairs, one benefiting from built-in storage, the other currently being used as a home office. There is also a utility room where the boiler, freezer and washing machine are currently located, and a family shower room. 

Upstairs, the spacious dual-aspect principal bedroom enjoys an abundance of natural light and features a walk-in wardrobe and stylish en-suite bathroom. 

The south-facing rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to include raised vegetable beds, artificial lawn, patio seating area, garden shed and outside tap, creating an ideal space for relaxing and entertaining.
