Between the two bedrooms there is a shower room with walk-in shower, wash hand basin, WC and eaves storage.
The property sits back from the road behind its own front garden with space for off-road parking.
The walled courtyard garden is accessed from the back of the house and via an alley extending down the side of the property. The alley is owned by the property and the neighbour has a right of access over.
There are three small outbuildings, one of which has power and light, and would make an ideal workshop. The smaller outbuildings are presently used for wood storage and a bike shed.
From the paved rear garden there is a well-established grape vine trailing alongside the staircase leading to a wonderful, raised decked terrace, which is ideal for entertaining.
