The overall feel of the house is very light and airy and in excellent decorative order.

To the front of the property there is a small gravel driveway providing parking, as well as a log store, all with easy access to the front door.
The rear garden can be accessed via the double doors in the dining room, where you step out onto decking, providing a perfect space for entertaining. The rest of the garden is mainly laid to lawn, with shingle borders, all enclosed by recently fitted wooden panel fencing, and a garden gate, enjoying views towards the neighbouring hills beyond.
