Just off the sitting room are three bedrooms, the master bedroom is ensuite. A connecting door leads to a self-contained unit at the rear of the main house. Externally there is a large garden which has been partially landscaped and partially laid to lawn with gravelled areas to the back and rear of the property for al fresco dining. There are two large storage units to the rear and a workshop attached to the main house.
