Externally the home is surrounded by beautiful, landscaped gardens with swathes of well-kept lawns and mature borders. The property is approached via gated access and a gravel driveway which continues to the side elevation and a detached double garage.

There are numerous other outbuildings for garden storage and to the rear of the property there are delightful patio areas that take full advantage of the home’s privacy and sunny South facing and West facing aspects.

Beyond the main garden areas is a secret Japanese garden a tranquil oasis that encapsulates the elegance and serenity of traditional Japanese garden design. The garden features a variety of key elements such as a soothing water feature that creates a gentle stream that flows through the garden and planting that has been carefully chosen to create a sense of balance, with vibrant seasonal blooms adding splashes of colour throughout the year and imbuing the space with a sense of serenity and calm.
