The residential part of the property is bright and well presented throughout. On the ground floor, there's a cosy lounge with a wood-burning stove, a well-proportioned dining room with French doors that lead to the garden, and a spacious kitchen and breakfast room fitted with light wood units and contrasting dark laminate work surfaces. The Esse stove is a pleasing focal point in the room. The sun room also sits on the ground floor and is a particularly welcoming space with access to a high degree of natural light.

Outside, the rear garden is beautifully landscaped and offers a good level of privacy. It has a favourable west-facing orientation and, in total, extends to 180 feet, with a more formal area with cared-for beds, a lawn and a patio directly outside the house.

The garden slopes gently downhill, where a gate leads onto a further enclosed section which was once used for growing produce, and there is a mature Cider apple tree, a greenhouse and a shed.

To the front of the property, there is a good-sized forecourt, with additional space to the side for additional parking.
