To the front of the property, a block paved driveway provides ample off-road parking for approximately four to five vehicles. Part of the former double garage has been retained as a useful storage area, while the remainder has been converted to create a versatile annex-style room, currently used as a combined office and bedroom, complete with its own fully tiled en-suite shower room. The property also comes with the added benefit of 22 solar panels with 8.1 kWh battery, and a feed in tariff with EDF Energy (details on request).
