This particularly generous room leads through French doors into a further addition to the property which has the feel of a garden room with three Velux windows in the ceiling and double doors leading out to the terrace and garden beyond. There is a well appointed kitchen which communicates with both the hall and the garden room with tile work surfaces and wall and floor mounted cabinetry.

On the second floor there is a further bedroom with far-reaching views over fields to the rear and an en suite shower room.

Outside to the rear of the property there is a wide and deep terrace which leads to a lawn area. To the side a gravel path which borders the lawn leads down to a gravelled seating area ideal for outside entertaining and summer barbecues. The garden also has the benefit of a summer house with power, heating, phone line and light and a good size shed.
