There is a driveway to the left hand side of the bungalow providing parking for two/three cars in addition to an area to the front of the property, within the curtilage, which could possibly provide additional parking for guests if required.

The property also features an alarm system, water softener, external power supply, external lighting and an outbuilding ideal for use as office including a separate WC.
