The bedroom is of an excellent size, with a wonderful bay or sash window and views over the countryside to the fore of the property. This is a bright and cheerful room and can easily accommodate a double bed.

Outside
The front of the property has neat gravel wells with pots of flowers under the windows and a pedestrian entrance to the right of the building, with enclosed stairs taking you up to the first-floor apartments at the back of the property.

The back garden is large and mostly given over to lawns with borders filled with shrubs and trees along the edges and a veg garden in front of the garage. There are brick-paved pathways meandering around the space and a raised patio area at the back of the garden, which would be perfect for BBQ's or relaxing with a book.

Garage and outbuilding
The double garage is a spacious new build which is lit by Velux windows and is attached to the outbuilding. The outbuilding is only slightly smaller than the garage itself and is a dual aspect room, with a door out into the garden and a door into the garage space.
