Outside
A low-level stone wall forms the front boundary to the grass verge, with pillars and a timber five-bar gate marking the access onto a driveway of pavers which provides parking for multiple vehicles and leads to the detached double garage. Manicured hedging and clipped evergreen shrubs create definition and interest at the perimeters of the plot and areas of lawn to front and rear are well-maintained. Paved pathways follow the edge of the property to both sides offering routes to the front entrance and the garden at the rear, with areas of decorative gravel creating low-maintenance design features. The paving extends to connect with a raised patio with summer house that is perfect for al fresco dining and relaxation in this outdoor sanctuary, which enjoys unoverlooked privacy and open countryside beyond the far margin.

Beyond the wooden fencing of the rear garden is an approx. 2.5 acre field which is owned by a Limited company in which the owner of Kirk Lea has as interest along with four neighbours, affording protection against any change of use or development.
