The kitchen/dining room is located to the rear and is fitted with bespoke solid wood units with block wood worktops over, inset stainless steel sink and space for the usual appliances.

The garden is to the front of the property and extends some 75ft in length with a good sized garden shed at the bottom. The garden is laid to lawn with well stocked borders and an ornamental pond. We observe that the neighbouring properties have created off road parking at the bottom of their gardens, and subject to the necessary consents and works the vendor believes it will be possible to do the same..
