Three of the remaining four bedrooms are large enough to accommodate double beds. The family bathroom is equally impressive with a walk in shower and a freestanding roll top bath.
   
The basement has two rooms with full head height, one with a sliding patio door to the rear, offering many possible uses such as a hobby room, gym, or home theatre.
   
The property has been upgraded with new lighting, plumbing, electrics, flooring, and external windows and doors, with traditional internal doors that complement the period style. The heating is provided by an LPG fired system, controlled via a Honeywell system.

The first floor features a split level, open plan lounge/kitchen/dining room with a multi fuel burner and double doors leading to a balcony with scenic views. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the ground floor includes a double bedroom, a large bathroom with a double shower cubicle, and a freestanding bath.

The private gravelled driveway offers ample off road parking, with designated space for the holiday let including an EV point. The detached double garage includes automatic roller doors, power, water, and a mezzanine storage area.
   
The front garden is beautifully landscaped with a paved seating area. Adjacent to the house is the garden room/studio, a bright, versatile space with a fully glazed front and decking, perfect for working from home or pursuing hobbies. The studio also includes a WC and shower, making it suitable for long days of use.
   
The formal side garden features raised vegetable beds and gravel paths, along with a large greenhouse/potting shed. The remainder of the garden is mainly lawned, with a mix of shrubs, bushes, and young specimen trees. An orchard with various fruit trees adds further appeal. A two storey outbuilding, previously granted planning permission for conversion, offers potential for additional accommodation (subject to further investigation).
