The property is approached via a driveway providing off-road parking alongside access to the garage, with the home itself presenting an appealing gable-fronted exterior. Internally, the entrance hall leads through to a spacious and stylish reception room featuring herringbone flooring and glazed internal doors opening into the dining room, where patio doors provide direct access to the rear garden.
