Outside
1 Church Farm Close is approached from the lane initially over a shared private driveway and then onto its own private driveway via double opening five bar gates, onto a brick paved turning/parking area for a number of vehicles and culminating in a double garage with two sets of electronically operated up and over doors, light and power connected. There is a useful car charging point installed by the porch.
The gardens are a magnificent feature of the property, being thoughtfully laid out and presented to a high standard. The front garden is laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs including cherry, a number of silver birches, rhododendrons, clipped and shaped evergreen topiary including yew.
The rear garden can be approached via either side of the house through lockable gates. To the south is an area of terracing where there is an excellent summer house 13’2 x 9’3 which would ideally lend itself to an office or hobbies room, with electric heating and power connected.
Discreetly tucked away to the side of this is a delightful cutting garden, fence enclosed with sleeper enclosed beds, a selection of climbing roses, silver birches and a greenhouse. This area also houses the oil tank.
The rear garden forms an enchanting backdrop to the property, with a broad terrace running the length of the house with substantial vine covered arbour which adjoins the kitchen/breakfast room, ideal for al fresco dining.
The gardens are principally laid to lawn with flower borders stocked with roses, clipped box hedging, geraniums, sedum, etc, and bordered by mature hedges. A particular feature of the property is that the garden immediately abuts unspoilt farmland to the rear, with access gate and wonderful westerly sunsets.
The heated swimming pool sits within a further seating/dining area. There are various cupboards housing the plant equipment and providing additional storage and also with power points by the pool.
Timber implement store with power connected.
