The kitchen has a good range of wooden Shaker-style units, some with glass fronts, with high quality granite worktops incorporating a 1½ bowl stainless steel sink unit with drainer and mixer taps, Siemens oven and Siemens combined microwave and oven, Neff gas hob with overhead extractor, integrated Hotpoint fridge, integrated Miele dishwasher, and laminate wood flooring.
• The utility room is plumbed for a washing machine and has space for an additional fridge. A timber panelled door leads out to the secluded courtyard garden where there is a useful storage room currently housing a tumble drier and chest freezer.
• To the rear of the house is a cloakroom and a staircase leading to the first floor landing with built-in storage cupboards and an airing cupboard.

Outside
The property is approached via a private driveway off Vicarage Lane which culminates in a gravelled area providing parking for several vehicles for the property and its neighbours to either side.
The driveway continues to the side and rear where there is a single garage being part of a battery of three garages, converted from an original stable block.
There is an area of front garden which is surprisingly private and has a wide array of
mature shrubs and plants including an attractive acer and a beech tree.
The rear courtyard garden is a secluded area with ample space for al fresco dining and entertaining. From this area a covered access leads down to the cellar with lighting, exposed brick walls and an area of shelving.
To the rear of the garden is a separate area for the bins and recycling storage and a gate out to the rear driveway and garage.
