The nearby Tollgate Retail Park provides a wide range of amenities including supermarkets, retail stores, cafés, restaurants, and leisure facilities.

The kitchen leads to a lean-to with access to the private and enclosed rear garden.
There are two double bedrooms, with the second bedroom to the front overlooking the garden and currently used as a dining room, while the principal bedroom enjoys views over the rear garden.
A tiled family bathroom completes the internal accommodation. A warm and inviting reception room leads through to a conservatory, again providing access to the garden.
