The gardens at the rear are extensive and stretch away from the house offering plenty of space for entertaining. They are mainly lawned with a patio are adjacent to the house.

Off the kitchen to the rear is a breakfast/garden room with direct access from here out to the gardens. Finally on the ground floor is the bathroom that features a bath, separate shower, wc and vanity wash hand basin. Moving on to the upstairs, a small landing gives access to the main bedroom which is a large double room with built-in wardrobes and with its own ensuite shower room with shower, wc and wash hand basin.
