The property is very well presented and makes a lovely small home or ideal letting property. The accommodation comprises two bedrooms, one double and one single, bathroom and open plan living/dining/kitchen. At the back of the house is a small walled courtyard garden, offering a private space for sitting out. The house is double glazed and there is gas central heating throughout.
