Keepers Cottage has a front entrance and can also be accessed via a separate gateway from the detached garage. The entrance hallway gives access into two reception rooms, one with a sunny bay window overlooking the garden and the second sitting room leading through to a snug/study room with access into the third bedroom. Both the main reception rooms feature brick open fireplaces, with a wealth of exposed beams and timber doors. The country-style kitchen/breakfast room is to the rear looking out to the garden with an inner hall leading out to a side sun terrace. Within the kitchen is a range cooker, tiled floor, column radiator and ample light flooding in from the two large windows. There is also a fully-tiled family bathroom on the ground floor and door from the reception leading to the staircase.

The landscaped garden is enclosed to the front and side aspects by a brick wall with an abundance of trees and shrubs featured, well-tended lawn and paved patio areas. To the rear, approached via a wrought iron gate in the brick wall, is the detached timber garage and private driveway. Behind the garage, accessed from the garden is a further building currently used as a home office. Previous planning consent approved (lapsed) for an extension to turn into a 4 bedroom property.
