The kitchen is fitted with oak wall and base units, laminate worktops and an integrated oven, gas hob and extractor, with additional space for a washing machine and under-counter fridge. A rear vestibule provides access to the outside, while the bathroom is fitted with a bath with shower attachment, a recessed shower, WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

The bungalow offers three well-proportioned double bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms also feature built-in storage, providing useful space for everyday living.

Externally, the property occupies generous garden grounds, mainly laid to lawn with paved areas, off-road parking and a single garage. Beyond the immediate gardens, approximately 30 acres of croft land are included, fenced for livestock with a ditch providing a natural water supply.

The croft land is complemented by a range of useful outbuildings, including a substantial barn measuring approximately 60m x 30m with power and lighting, and a tractor shed measuring approximately 40m x 45m with an adjoining lean-to. There are also two smaller sheds, currently used as stables, both benefiting from power.
