You enter and find a small entrance hallway providing access to both the lounge and kitchen. The lounge is spacious and has been opened up onto the dining room and access to the sunroom to the rear. A small hallway has stairs to the first floor, door to the rear garden and access to the kitchen. The kitchen has wall and base units but requires modernisation and has a window onto the rear garden. Upstairs you find a large master bedroom, second double bedroom and bathroom with shower. Externally there is a lovely archetypal cottage garden with greenhouse, shed and many established shrubs and flowerbeds.
