The main reception space comprises a cosy sitting room with a working fireplace and fitted book shelving, leading through to the dining room with a door to the cloakroom and access to a quaint courtyard terrace. Stairs rise to two further double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, together with a family bathroom.

Outside, a self-contained annexe bedroom with en suite shower room provides useful additional accommodation, with a storage shed located alongside. The property is approached via five-bar gate leading to a gravel parking area, with potential to create additional parking if required.

The gardens are private and well-established, featuring mature planting, rose arches and a garden shed. A paved terrace and courtyard seating area provide ideal spaces for outdoor dining.
