It was extended during the early 1980s taking it from a three-bedroom cottage and making it into a five-bedroom family home. The extension does require finishing with the existing kitchen being moved and the rooms re-decorated throughout. One of the properties many features is the garden that has been landscaped by the current owners taking advantage of its southerly aspect and shaded location it has feature plants including a wide variety of bamboos, palms, tree, Peonies and many other unusual species. At the bottom of the garden is a small stream forming an attractive feature.
