Great parking space. A well equipped & very clean property. Downstairs double bedroom with bathroom right next to it so ideal for people with less mobility. Fantastic shower. Peacefully located. Bungalow located in Eskdale Road just off Larpool Lane. Only suggestion maybe install grab handle in downstairs shower cubicle & blinds on patio door as a little overlooked. I would highly recommend this property 5*
