Two timber six-bar gates mark the access to the property and an area of hardstanding which provides parking for several vehicles. Naturalistic grounds are mainly laid to lawn with post-and-rail fencing affording uninterrupted views to the adjoining farmland and the highlight of the setting are two areas of water with a timber bridge crossing which attract waterfowl. Three architectural timber pergolas edge the lake, with rambling plants climbing over adding to the visual appeal of this garden feature. To the southwestern side of the property is a generous greenhouse for the green-fingered and a charming summer house to enjoy the tranquillity. The gardens and adjacent paddock measure 2.06 acres but there is additional land available under separate negotiation. Please ask the selling agent for further details.
