This area could easily form a nursery, fourth (single) bedroom or en-suite, subject to ones needs and any consents.

Outside, to the front is a part walled, formal garden, with an iron gate to the road and formal box-hedge planting. A path leads to the front door, as well as a side path and further gate to the rear garden.

The rear garden enjoys an area of brick paving by the kitchen, with the patio and sunroom above, plus a long, south facing rear garden, arranged as a series of levelled lawns with brick and stone paths leading down to the shed at the bottom of the garden.
