Practical features include an allocated parking space, full‑fibre broadband availability and a modern fitted kitchen with waist‑height oven for easier use. The property was built in 2017 and presents a contemporary brick exterior with well‑kept grounds.

Heating is electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which can affect running costs.
