Attached to the ground floor is a studio with separate entrance and 2 reception rooms and cloakroom. This could make a spacious annexe if required. Upstairs there are 4 double bedrooms, 2 with ensuite shower rooms and a family shower room, all fitted with high quality fixtures and fittings.
In the garden is the separate guest accommodation/air bnb providing extra income. This is a fun outbuilding with separate access from the driveway and with cooking/living area, sleeping zone, w/c and shower (with rainwater roof and some quirky fun internal features).
