French doors from the sitting room give access to the garden terrace and the double bedroom enjoys a south-facing outlook. There is a shower room of contemporary design, and the utility room has the potential to become a kitchen if the need arises.

Outside - The house is largely concealed from the village road behind a beautifully planted front garden with lawn, surrounding shrubs and a flowering cherry tree taking centre stage. The paved forecourt provides a parking space, and the drive continues past a five-bar gate following the western boundary fence with colourful climbers, to the detached double garage with up-and-over doors, power and light. A wrought-iron garden gate connects to the south-facing rear garden. Outside the garden room is a paved terrace with a water feature, espalier apple tree and raised beds featuring a variety of plants and ornamental trees including a Gleditsia ‘Green Glory.

The pergola is adorned by a rose and hydrangea and has a raised seating area providing an idyllic pastoral view across green pastures to the woodland of Sutton Park.
