Integrated appliances include oven, hob, dishwasher and fridge/freezer along with a freestanding washing machine and tumble dryer.

A door leads through to the principal bedroom which is full of character with exposed beams and has the advantage of built-in cupboards and a modern, spacious en-suite shower room. A further shower room is situated off the hallway along with plenty of additional storage. Stairs rise from the hallway to an attractive double bedroom while a second staircase leads from alongside the principal bedroom to a third double bedroom with its own bath, making it perfect for guests. Outside to the front is a pretty garden, mainly laid to lawn and surrounded by hedging to give a good degree of privacy. To the rear is an attractive shingled seating area directly behind the house, ideal for entertaining. A good-sized lawn bisected by a path bordered by pretty flowers leads to a further seating area to the rear and the whole garden overlooks the cricket pitch and open countryside beyond. There is off road parking alongside the detached garage.
