Downstairs on the lower ground floor, you can find four double bedrooms all leading from a landing space, beginning with one to the left which has large built-in storage and a window to the side.

The main bathroom is fully tiled and is a modern four piece suite with a WC, wash hand basin, large enclosed shower cubicle and separate bath. A versatile room flowing into a pleasant conservatory could be an optional fifth bedroom, office or snug, with built-in storage and the conservatory which is a bright circular shaped room with windows overlooking each angle of the garden. The principal bedroom hosts another built-in wardrobe and served by an en-suite, which is also fully tiled and comprises a WC, wash hand basin and a large enclosed shower cubicle. The quirky arrangement then allows for a door to flow into a second utility area which has base cupboards and drawers and a stainless steel sink/drainer, along with space for a washing machine and spare fridge/freezer. This could easily be made into a kitchenette, which has a door into the last room of the house - a substantial double bedroom with more fitted wardrobes and another en-suite comprising a WC, wash hand basin and an enclosed shower cubicle. Double doors lead from the bedroom out to a brick paved area of the garden, and this extra section of the home underneath the double garage could be utilised as an annex for an elderly relative or even as a profitable air Airbnb.

To the front, the private road leading off Mount Pleasant is owned by the occupiers of this property, with a formal arrangement to share maintenance costs with two other neighbours.
