Four of the six bedrooms are located on the ground floor, three of which benefit from en suite facilities. In addition, there is a separate shower room serving bedroom six, which could equally be utilised as a home office, study or additional reception room if required. This versatile arrangement makes the property especially appealing for multi-generational living or purchasers seeking accessible ground floor accommodation.

Further gravelled hardstanding areas provide useful additional storage space suitable for a caravan, motorhome or boat.

The property has been designed with efficiency and modern comfort in mind, incorporating an air source heat pump heating system with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and radiators serving the first floor, together with high-performance double glazed windows.
