Salient points include lattice windows, thumb latch doors, an exposed central beam and ceiling timbers, an impressive inglenook fireplace, a modern kitchen, contemporary bathroom suites and three double bedrooms. Also of note is the attractive rear garden, which features a versatile office with power and WiFi connected and driveway parking.

    Across the second floor is the principal bedroom featuring exposed wall timbers and a fitted wardrobe, and served by a stylish en suite bathroom with a stand alone claw foot bath with shower over.

    The rear garden creates a lovely backdrop to the property with an area of lawn incorporating a paved path culminating in a seating area, ideal for al fresco entertaining and colourful, well stocked borders. A versatile garden office sits towards the rear of the plot and has power/WiFi connected.
