a further double bedroom which requires re-decoration.

The delightful detached annexe comprises an open plan kitchen/dining room and utility room on the ground floor, and an external staircase which leads to a living room, double bedroom and bathroom on the first floor.

The property is approached onto a private driveway where there is parking for a few cars.
