The master bedroom has lovely views over the village green, along with its own well appointed en suite bathroom, this being in addition to bedroom 2 which looks out to the rear and features a walk-in wardrobe and, again, its own en suite shower room.

There is a large summerhouse placed at the rear end of the garden, with a further decked area with pergola over providing an ideal space for a hot tub.
