Bedroom two is also a particularly large double bedroom, which shares the use of a stylish first floor bathroom with a smaller third bedroom.

The gardens encompass the house to three sides, and are mostly laid to flat lawns incorporating a vast amount of planting, including an abundance of mature shrubs and specimen trees. A tarmac driveway provides parking space for a number of vehicles, in addition to a timber frame single garage.
