The layout includes three reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room with Rayburn, a vaulted garden room and a fully self-contained detached annexe/office — ideal for guests, multigenerational use or a home business.
Outside, mature landscaped gardens, a productive vegetable plot, greenhouse and established fruit trees deliver excellent privacy and outdoor amenity.

Double glazing was upgraded during or after 2002. Council tax is above average, and some updating or energy-efficiency improvements may be desirable for long-term running costs.
