Occupying an elevated position set against a backdrop of mature woodland and having plenty of kerb appeal, the property is approached through an electric five bar gate over a shared tarmac driveway, owned by the property, providing private parking and giving access to the detached garage. The mature garden to the front aspect features terraced areas of gently-sloping lawn bordered by well-stocked flower and shrub beds and features a stream with footbridge over overlooked by an open-sided gazebo, a raised wraparound paved terrace and a further raised paved seating area off the drawing room, all screened by mature trees and enjoying stunning views over the Cardingmill Valley and Stretton Hills beyond. The property also benefits from a rear garden laid to sloping natural planting, leading up to mature woodland.
