The self-contained annexe with own separate entrance and communicating doors from the main house boasts all-on-the-level accommodation including a generous 18ft open plan living room/dining room/kitchen that cannot fail to impress with wood burning stove and French doors to gardens. A large double bedroom and modern fitted bathroom with separate walk-in shower and bath complete the annexe.

More recently an air source heat pump system has been installed as the primary heat source with an lpg tank supplying gas for cooking in both the main and annex kitchens, and also powers two gas fires.
