The house is compact but well laid out: a spacious lounge, a mezzanine study ideal for home working, two characterful bedrooms and a south-facing garden with patio, lawn and mature borders. A garage and additional storage are included, and there is access to adjoining private woodland (ownership may be possible through adverse possession in time).
