It occupies a plot of about 0.76 of an acre, about half an acre of which are gardens that wrap around the centrally positioned house. The remainder flanks the driveway leading up to a parking area for the house. The gardens are laid to lawn with a patio area to the rear, mature trees to the perimeter, a garden shed and two larger garden stores.

To the rear of the house is a detached outbuilding, ideal for use as a studio or home office, with a vaulted ceiling and the added benefit of a shower room. There are views from the gardens looking down over the village.

The house itself has blue headed flemish bond brick elevations with sandstone quoining and window hood moulds. There are three octagonal chimney stacks, a bay window to the front and cat-slide roof to the rear, giving this house a Gothic-Tudor appearance.

Inside, the accommodation is arranged with three rooms downstairs, plus the bathroom and utility room, and three rooms upstairs, all fairly evenly sized and with good ceiling heights. A gated pathway leads from the parking area to the kitchen, stable-style door.

The kitchen is fitted with cream wall and base units with varnished wooden worktops and tiled splashbacks. There is a Belfast sink with spray hose mixer tap, Brittania stainless steel electric range cooker with splashback and extractor hood over and an integrated undermount fridge. There is also space for a dishwasher. The adjoining utility room has space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The kitchen has wood effect flooring and space for a dining table and chairs.

Leading off the kitchen is the first reception room, which features a large inglenook fireplace housing a woodburning stove. The main front door opens out to a covered porch and path to Town Hill. The second, double aspect reception room has a bay window to the front and a feature fireplace with tile inserts and a woodburner on a marble hearth with built-in cupboards and shelves each side.

The bathroom is located on the ground floor and is fitted with a white suite including a panelled bath with shower over, WC and washbasin. It has wood effect flooring and a heated towel rail.
