The property is a spacious three bedroom cottage enjoying a large garden and character features. The accommodation offers entrance hall, living room, dining, kitchen, and lean-to conservatory, laundry/utility, shower room and access to the rear garden from the ground floor. Stairs lead to the first floor where three bedrooms and a family bathroom are located.
