The large rear garden faces just south of west and the house enjoys plenty of natural light from well-sized windows. Finished in 2017, the property is set over three floors.

Rooms are well proportioned and all six bedrooms are doubles with the master and second bedroom boasting a huge amount of space. Three bedrooms are en-suite, and two have dressing rooms.
