San José Cottage sits peacefully on mature and secluded sun-drenched gardens extending to circa 0.2 Hectares / 0.49 Acre. The property is accessed from the road through a vehicular entrance with original cut stone piers with a cut stone wall running along the boundary line with the road. The front garden is laid mainly in gravel bordered by a small lawn area on the left-hand-side adjacent to the boundary wall with the church grounds. A neat hedge on the right-hand side separates the front and side gardens. An original decorative wrought-iron side gate leads through from the front of the property to the side garden. The front garden is well stocked with plants and trees including Hollie and Climbing Roses. A Monkey Puzzle tree in the adjoining church grounds hangs over the front garden at the entrance to San José Cottage.
The large and private sun-drenched side garden is a haven of tranquillity, perfect for a secure children's play area. A neat lawn is bordered by hedging and mature trees including Elderflower, Sycamore, four apple trees and one Plum tree. An Adman steel garden shed sitting on a concrete base, along with a woodshed are discreetly tucked away behind mature trees. A flagstone patio area is perfect for al-fresco dining and entertaining.
