In addition to bedrooms, the downstairs also offers a full laundry and storage area that is perfect for busy families with lots of washing to manage.

Whilst outside every thought has been given to making the pool and gardens an inviting area that can be used for children to play in and for families to entertain. There is a lovely covered dining area directly overlooking the pool, perfect for offering some shade and sipping cold drinks whilst you watch the children splash about, that offers direct access to the front of the property so that any pool or garden company can access the area without having to disturb you in the main house. Whilst there are other spaces around the pool to allow for entertaining or sunbathing and a full jacuzzi.

Away from the pool terrace, you will find an immaculate lawn area that has been divided into two to allow a separate play area for the children or that could be converted into a sizable vegetable garden and already offer several fruit trees that provide an abundance of fresh untreated fruits.

Additionally, the property offers a private driveaway big enough to park 2 cars and a covered porch at the main door.
