The elevations are of painted brick, part tile hung, beneath a tiled roof. There is oilfired central heating with an external boiler.

The main features are:
• Approached via the pretty front garden, the partly glazed front door opens directly into the main sitting/dining room, an extremely spacious and attractive introduction to the house, currently offering two distinct areas, one for sitting, with exposed beams and a fitted log burner in a brick hearth with bressummer beam above, and a separate dining area with exposed wood flooring, timber beams, tongue and groove panelled walls.
• A door from the sitting room leads to the hall/study, with part panelled walls and flagstone flooring which continues to the rear hall where a panelled door leads to the snug with exposed brick walls, bressummer beam and brick hearth, part tongue and groove panelling up to dado rail height.
• The boot room has brick flooring and provides useful additional storage space (currently housing the second fridge) and a separate door to the front of the house.
• The kitchen/breakfast room comprises a good range of painted wooden wall and base units with co-ordinating wood-effect worktops incorporating a porcelain basin with drainer and mixer taps; integrated Smeg dishwasher; Beko electric hob and oven; fitted Esse range with two rings and two ovens and warming drawer.

This space is full head height and has brick flooring, painted brick walls and some exposed beams. In one corner is a sauna cabinet (not currently in use). The main area is currently used as a workstation. Full height double doors open to a staircase up to the front garden.

Morehouse is set well back from Lower Street behind a very pretty landscaped garden with several brick paths, one leading to the main entrance and another to the side of the house. There is a generous paved terrace allowing for al fresco dining and a very good range of mature shrubs and trees together with two areas of lawn.
To the rear is a very pretty and secluded courtyard garden with a generous brick paved terrace which is currently used for external dining and entertaining. There is a raised area with an attractive arbour offering a second sitting space, and with a door from the back of the garage.
A gate from the courtyard garden leads to a further area beyond which features a gravelled area providing parking for several cars, ultimately leading to the detached garage, which is at present used for storage.
There is a raised flower bed with a good range of shrubs and plants, a useful greenhouse and a log storage area, along with a further raised area with a shingle area surrounded by flower beds, leading to the timber garden shed and the oil tank.
A pedestrian gate and separate double garage doors lead out to a rear area of hardstanding providing parking for a further two cars, and also allowing separate access to the Airbnb suite.
