The present owners have in recent years altered and extended the original layout creating what is now a superb home for 21st century family living and enjoyment.

There are three good double bedrooms and a large shower room, utility room and cloakroom and the loft room offers clear potential for conversion if required. To complete the picture is a large garage with remote controlled door and adjoining workshop, level driveway for several vehicles and the most delightful well tended gardens which need to be seen to be appreciated including the splendid Arctic Cabin for out door enjoyment.
