On the lower ground floor, there is a self-contained 1-bedroom apartment comprising an open hallway, a stylish modern kitchen, a sitting room with a fireplace and French doors out to the rear garden, a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, and a tastefully finished shower room.
Outside - The house is approached over a gated driveway providing parking and turning space for several vehicles, where there is also exterior access to a three-room cellar providing valuable storage space.

Immediately at the rear of the house is a paved patio area and a raised decked balcony. The main lawn is part-walled, with planted colourful borders and a variety of specimen trees and shrubs including magnolias, camellias, numerous acers and a variegated tulip tree.
