Both well-sized bedrooms overlook the rear garden and are fitted with double-glazed windows. The kitchen, positioned at the back of the home, includes direct access to the garden, making it practical for entertaining or enjoying outdoor living. The family bathroom rounds out the internal layout. The outdoor spaces promise significant potential for transformation.
