In-between the bedrooms, the shower room is equipped with a shower cubicle with a glazed door, pedestal wash hand basin, close coupled w.c. and strategically placed splash tiling. A Velux window and vinyl flooring complete the space.
Up the garden way…
The south-facing rear garden firstly begins with a patio, creating a perfect spot for al fresco dining and sun lounging. This continues as a path down one side of the property, where a timber gate leads back to the front driveway. The rest is laid to lawn with mature shrubs and bushes to the borders for privacy and timber fence boundaries.
There is both a timber shed, which is equipped with power, and access into the semi-detached garage by a UPVC pedestrian side door. Inside, the single garage has power, light, an up-and-over door and a boarded loft area for storage plus external lighting.
