At the rear there is an impressive, large open plan kitchen/dining room fitted with a range of timber units and worktops, and an island unit with gas hob. Adjoining the kitchen there is a useful utility cupboard housing the laundry appliances. A rear door provides access to the garden from the ground floor. On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms, a shower room, and a versatile room which is an excellent addition providing either a fourth bedroom, home office or further reception room.

The principal bedroom occupies the entire top floor comprising a spacious bedroom with beamed ceiling, fitted storage, and accompanied by an en-suite bathroom fully fitted with both a shower unit and free-standing bath.
The sunny south-facing rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped sympathetic to the geography arranged over a number of wonderful terrace areas.

Steps lead up to a good-sized lawn which has levelled beside a timber shed, whilst a further patio terrace is positioned in the top corner. Further steps lead down to the kitchen.
