A part galleried landing leads to a second double bedroom with WC en-suite and a third bedroom with convenient access to a large attic. A gas-fired boiler supplies central heating and there are UPVC double glazed windows.

Substantial double gates from Copp Hill Lane lead to car parking space and a good size detached garage beyond with light and power.
