The kitchen is fitted with a wide array of eye and base level units, quartz worktops, central island with breakfast bar, double eye level oven and induction hob. Beyond the kitchen is the formal dining room. Off the hall is a utility room, cloakroom with utilities connected, and downstairs bedroom, currently used as an office, with modern ensuite shower room.

On the first floor is a lovely living room that leads through to the conservatory/sunroom. There are 3 generous double bedrooms, the principal enjoying ensuite facilities, together with separate shower room.

The outside space is a real feature with off road parking to the front. To the left is a landscaped and private garden with porcelain paved terraces and raised beds, new fencing and summerhouse with electricity. A path leads around the rear to two raised seating and decked areas, that take full advantage of the south west facing aspect. Across the lane is a further area of gravelled parking, 5 bar wooden gate that leads to a meadow garden.
