A staircase from the sitting room winds up to the first floor landing and bedrooms two and four and the family bathroom. Bedroom one and three are on the second floor and accessed via a staircase from bedroom two. Bedroom two benefits from an en suite shower room with fitted cupboards.

The property is approached from Chapel Lane over a gravelled parking area which leads to the garage. Adjacent to the garage is a good sized timber shed. Steps lead up to the side garden which is generous in size and mainly laid to lawn with a paved terrace. There is a very useful range of stone sheds for garden storage. The garden continues to the rear of the property where there is further paved terracing.
