To the right is a corridor leading to 3 further bedrooms and a family bathroom and to the rear is the kitchen, utility room with a door to the outside and a clock room.

The property sits on a generous plot of approximately 0.44 acres which wraps around the property and offers an abundance of space to park, a double garage, external attached store and a separate timber workshop and store. The grounds provide a pleasant mix of established planting, mature trees and shrubs, an orchard and a large lawn. There is a separate double gated access to the rear garden.

The property offers an abundance of potential to both modernise and extend (subject to planning). Planning consent was granted in 2016, to extend the property both on the ground floor and creating additional accommodation at first floor. The planning consent has now lapsed.

The property is connected to mains water and electricity and has a private sewerage system.
