The stairs lead to the first floor consisting of three bedrooms; one of a good sized with en-suite, another large room at the far end, and a smaller bedroom and family sized bathroom in-between.
Outside a gated gravel drive opens-out into an area for parking vehicles. A gravel pathway leads from the rear door to an outhouse built in matching stone, set out for utility or storage use. There’s a brick shed alongside the driveway, divided into two separate areas, offering useful storage. The manageable garden is completely enclosed by a stone wall at the rear with fencing on either side and has two terrific mature Silver Birch trees, planted borders and raised beds.
The entrance hall would be equally suited for use as a dining room or living space.

Bedroom three would also make a good office space.
