A hallway with stairs opens into the possible annexe which includes bedroom 4, kitchen living space or optional bedroom 5 and contemporary shower room.

Gates flow into the side and rear garden, past a pretty summer house, patio and pallet shed, along with a 32 ft. timber clad dog kennel. There is a paved terrace beside the home enjoying the sunny south westerly aspect, bordered by colourful established flowers, a kitchen garden and greenhouse, followed by lush level lawn and borders that flows onto the land. The field is separated with metal railed fencing and part mowed, with wildflower sections and various fruit trees.
