Two bedrooms enjoy their own ensuite shower rooms, while a well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining rooms. A spacious landing enhances the sense of light and practicality on this level.
The south-facing rear garden is a standout feature, beautifully maintained and designed for enjoyment throughout the year. It includes a decked seating area, patio pathway, wild garden section, mature laurels, and several young fruit trees. Completing the property is a substantial double garage with two electric doors, a new side door and porch, power, lighting, work benches, and extensive eaves storage.
