The elegant, double-aspect lounge is approached through twin glazed doors and features a gas coal-effect fire set within a stone surround, together with double-glazed doors opening onto the patio and garden.

The private garden has an area of well-tended lawn and shrubs and a generous patio which is porcelain tiled providing plenty of entertaining space. There is an insulated and double glazed timber summer house and to the side a further timber building, used as a gym supplied by London Timber Buildings. Overall, the rear garden measures 56' x 45' and backs west. To the front there is a generous paved driveway and the double garage has an electric door and garage flooring.
