The area has been sectioned into four areas (see floor plan for measurements) and there is power and light, together with central heating radiators. The main hot and cold water tanks remain in situ. There are windows to all four elevations and the joists have been positioned to allow additional dormer windows to be installed.

Arranged around the garden there is a spacious brick storage building, a glass greenhouse and two garages. There is additional access to the property situated at the bottom of the rear garden and this can be reached by the neighbouring driveway which brings you to the detached garage at the far end of the garden, accessed via a five bar gate.
