Ham Hill, Stoke Sub Hamdon

GARDEN The house is approached from road level via either a narrow wrought iron gate between the traditional stone boundary wall and then through the middle of the garden, or via the side pathway which leads up to the top left hand side of the garden where a second gate is located. (n.b. this path is owned by Reform Cottage but has shared access with the neighbouring property).
The garden is magnificent with a thoughtful layout and planting to make the most of the views.
The main part is laid to lawn with mature planting to the sides and hedging making the garden feel very private despite being open to the landscape ahead.
There are raised patio / gravel areas, perfect for entertaining.
To the side is a useful area for clothes drying and to the rear a greenhouse and log store. 

PARKING There is an allocated parking area suitable for 2-3 vehicles on the opposite side of the road.
These are tied to the property but are owned by The Duchy with an annual lease payment due of £110.
