There are two reception rooms, the main reception is a generously-sized room with a window looking out to the front.

The ground floor is completed by a utility room/downstairs cloakroom providing further storage and space for white goods.

The garden is fenced or hedged on all boundaries providing a good degree of privacy and security.
