On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms along with a family bathroom and storage cupboard. Beyond this, the top floor is home to the master bedroom with a wealth of storage space and the potential to become a master suite if a prospective purchaser wishes to install an en-suite bathroom on this floor (subject to the necessary consents).

The garden offers plenty of space to enjoy summer evenings with the whole family. A brick built outbuilding provides ample storage space for keen gardeners.
