The family bathroom is well appointed with a bath and Mira shower over, pedestal wash basin, WC, heated towel rail and built-in airing cupboard housing the Worcester combination boiler.

Outside, the gardens are a particular highlight. Facing south to capture the sun throughout the day, they provide a delightful extension of the living space.

Beyond the footpath lies the traditional cottage garden, thoughtfully planted with colourful flowers, mature shrubs, fruit, vegetable beds and an established laburnum tree. A lawn, patio and timber shed complete this enchanting outdoor space, offering something to enjoy throughout the year.
