The Garden

A useful outbuilding / shed provides additional storage, while side access adds further convenience. To the rear, the property enjoys an open outlook across neighbouring green space, enhancing the peaceful and private feel of the setting.

Upstairs

Upstairs, the house continues to impress with two particularly large double bedrooms, both offering excellent proportions, natural light and a calm, inviting feel.

The bathroom is well-appointed and neatly finished, positioned to serve both bedrooms comfortably.

The property is also ideally located, with a recreation ground just a short walk away and excellent access to the surrounding Downs, offering a wealth of green open spaces to explore.
