All of the bedrooms have fitted storage. The main bedroom currently leads in to the third bedroom, if required and subject to any consents a corridor could be created to provide three separately accessed bedrooms.

The front garden is stocked with mature plants and shrubs creating a pretty cottage garden enclosed by brick walling and mature hedging.
