There are windows to all four elevations and the joists have been positioned to allow additional dormer windows to be installed.

The property sits on approx half an acre and has delightful gardens to both front and rear with evergreen hedges providing the boundaries.  The front elevation enjoys a pretty cottage garden and the rear garden is of a very generous size with a formal layout, which includes a wildlife pond and which extends down to an orchard with apple, plum and pear trees.  Arranged around the garden there is a spacious brick storage building, a glass greenhouse and two garages.  There is additional access to the property situated at the bottom of the rear garden and this can be reached by the neighbouring driveway which brings you to the detached garage at the far end of the garden, accessed via a five bar gate.  There is a small brook running to the side of the property and to the middle of which the formal boundary sits.
