The large kitchen dining room has been recently refitted with a matching utility. Usefully, the attached double garage is accessible from the utility and could even be converted to further accommodation or even an annexe should it be required subject to permissions . The living room is light with windows to the South and West and double sliding doors open onto the garden. The master bedroom has an ensuite and theres a bathroom shared by the remaining two bedrooms.

The gardens surround the property with lawns and hedging and the front provides ample parking for numerous vehicles. Worth noting is that the banks to the roadside also are part of the plot. To the north of the property is a small orchard, accessible from the garden or via a separate entrance a few metres up the hill. This access also provides a lane to the gateway leading to the adjoining paddock. Measuring approx. 2.2 acres, the paddock has a hard standing at the entrance and there are no rights of way access over the field for anyone else.

Its a super spot with some stunning views and with over 2 acres to play with, its sure to attract those looking for some space around them with the opportunity to improve along the way.
