OUTSIDE

"Swiss Vale" stands back from the road by some 35 metres and is particularly well screened. Many locals are completely unaware of its existence giving rise to a great deal of charm and of course enhancing the privacy. A driveway to the left of the property extends up from the road and leads to a courtyard area providing parking for around four cars and leading to two garages. Garage 1 13' x 12' (3.96m x 3.66m) and Garage 2 17'8" x 8'6" (5.38m x 2.59m) Complete with loft storage above. Nearby cold water tap and to the rear of the property access to the oil tank and log store. The gardens are a particular delight having been a great passion of the present owners for around 40 years. A central path leads straight up to the main entrance beneath a beautiful period canopy with its original wrought iron archways which loop along the front of the property. Either side of this central path are two beautifully tended lawns, flanked by great borders planted with a wealth of shrubs, specimen trees and perennials. A pair of scots pines frame the view beyond to Kings Wood.

There are a number of productive fruit trees and a small kitchen garden. These gardens will challenge both those keen on horticulture and for those looking for valuable space for the family. The Hot House Complete with double glazing! and raised beds ready for those valuable tender fruits and vegetables. To the rear of the property sits "the cottage", probably a former gardeners cottage appearing to be relatively sound in structure but quite basic having been used as a potting shed, hobbies area and a great party room for summer bar-be-ques that spill late into the night. It may be possible to improve the cottage, subject to the necessary consents to provide annexe accommodation.
