Gardens
The gardens are truly delightful extending to about 0.8 of an acre and enjoying a southerly aspect. The garden has been established for a few years now and the owners have invested in plants and trees to enhance the landscape. The property is approached via electric gated access into a large area of parking in front of the gym and workshop (formerly a detached garage), and modern carport. There is a gym attached to the side of the garage and a separate studio/office outbuilding with attached store. Most of the garden is laid to lawn and wraps around the property with a generous porcelain patio seating area directly outside the family room bi-fold doors. There is also a vegetable patch and a wonderful childrens’ play area featuring custom-built play equipment with slides and a large wooden sand pit.
