The family bathroom features a bath with handheld shower attachment, alongside a wash basin, w.c., airing cupboard, and utility cupboard with provisions for a washing machine.

Outside, the property unfolds across approximately 0.6 acres of private gardens, embraced by hedgerows and mature trees. Oak and apple trees dot the expansive lawn, while a tranquil pond, spanned by a picturesque wooden bridge, serves as a focal point alongside the inviting outdoor swimming pool. A covered pergola with decking and power provides an idyllic alfresco retreat, complemented by an insulated summerhouse equipped with power and a built-in fridge. Ample parking is afforded across two driveways, with the first granting access through electric gates to a double garage housing the swimming pool's pump room and a separate workshop.
