On the ground floor there is a dining room with doors to the office and the open plan kitchen/breakfast room, which in turn leads to the sitting room. There is also a shower room, a utility room and a snug. On the first floor are three double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a landing area, with build-in wardrobes, which could be used as a study/reading area. Bedroom one has three built-in double wardrobes and a three piece en suite shower room. A wrought iron gate accesses the enclosed cottage garden at the front. At the rear, double timber gates open to a block paved driveway with parking for two cars. There is an area of lawn, raised flower and shrub borders, a paved seating area and steps up to the raised terrace adjacent to the sitting room French doors.
