The property has gas central heating, supplemented by electric underfloor heating in the kitchen and sitting room and air-conditioning providing both heating and cooling in three bedrooms and the study.

A driveway shared with other properties in the close leads to an additional private parking area in front of double gates to the rear garden. Alongside the shared driveway is a Pétanque court with benches which offers additional multi-purpose space or further parking.
