The house has been extended in a thoughtful and creative way, providing a fabulous living/dining/kitchen space with beautiful views over nearby countryside and towards the town. There is also a cosy evening living room with wood burner for winter evenings, a spacious entrance hall, ground floor shower room and utility room. Upstairs, there is a landing study area with lovely views, a further small landing, two double bedrooms, one with en-suite shower and the other with en-suite bathroom and a third bedroom.
Outside, the pretty garden lies mainly to the south and south east, with patio areas for different times of day, as well as garden storage. At the bottom of the garden is the parking area with car port and the garage.
