A side door leads into a utility space with understair storage and space for a washing machine, a further room which was originally the wash house is now an office/store with a wood panelled ceiling and a small cloakroom.
On the first floor the landing leads to Bedroom 1 with double aspect windows and built-in wardrobes, Bedroom Two benefits from fitted wardrobes, a sink unit and a built-in shower and Bedroom Three comprises a vanity unit with sink and an airing cupboard behind sliding doors. The family bathroom is part-tiled with panelled bath, vanity unit, sink unit and low level wc.
The front garden is accessed from Link Lane and set behind an established hedge being lawned with an abundance of flower and shrub borders with a covered well which once served the former wash house.
