Bedroom 1 has built-in wardrobes and a fully tiled en suite bathroom with bath, wash basin and WC. From the living room, an open plan staircase leads to a large first floor landing with loft access. Bedroom 2 has built-in wardrobes, bedroom 3 has a wardrobe recess, and bedroom 4 has a sloping ceiling. There is also a fully tiled shower room (with shower, wash basin and WC.) Outside, a 5-bar gate gives access to a large gravelled driveway providing ample off road parking, and there is a separate pedestrian access through the pretty lychgate which is set in an established laurel hedge screening the property from the road. The front garden is lawned, with a timber summerhouse. The south facing rear garden offers a large degree of privacy, and features a covered entertaining area with a large garden store room (with lighting.) There is also a large summerhouse/gym, a shed and a greenhouse. The lawns are interspersed with shrubs, and there is a further timber outbuilding/home office (with a large fixed picnic table), a timber deck and a barbecue area with bench seating.
