Returning to the hallway, there is a useful shower room fitted with WC and wash hand basin.
The separate sitting room provides a wonderfully cosy and characterful space, centred around an attractive inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove. Dual aspect windows provide lovely views and allow plenty of natural light into the room.
A further hallway leads from the sitting room to two well-proportioned double bedrooms. The master bedroom benefits from dual-aspect views and an ensuite shower room fitted with WC and wash hand basin.

Externally, the property is approached via a private driveway providing convenient off-road parking. The garden has been thoughtfully improved by the current owners and includes lawned areas, raised beds, a patio with seating, potting shed and a useful store room/workshop, currently utilised as a gym.
