Lying off this open plan space is a door to the rear gardens, a utility room and separate WC.

The two remaining good-sized bedrooms are served by an equally as impressive family bathroom. Bedroom three has solid steps up to a loft room which offers additional attic storage space.

Within the garden, there is a separate 1-bedroom annexe which offers accommodation for a dependant relative or family member, if required. Comprising a living room, galley kitchen, double bedroom with ensuite shower room.

To the front surrounding the parking area lies mature specimen trees and hedging, screening the house from the road.

The Pod is located within the rear garden.
