These bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, featuring a stylish roll-top bath on wooden mounts, a vanity unit with an enclosed wash hand basin, a low-level WC, and timber flooring.
Ascending to the second floor, you will find a versatile loft room with two Velux roof windows, carpeting, and a radiator. This space, with its vaulted ceilings and limited head height, offers flexibility for use as a home office or a comfortable retreat.
Externally, the property benefits from a gravel driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles, leading to a fenced and gated front garden.
