Externally, the property provides off-road parking and a versatile workshop, ideal for conversion into a studio, home office, or hobby space. A separate external utility room adds further practicality, while the beautifully maintained side and rear gardens offer a peaceful setting for outdoor dining and relaxation. Designed with energy efficiency in mind, the home benefits from solar panels and an air source heat pump, helping to reduce ongoing running costs.
