Gardens and Grounds

The front garden is primarily laid to a kept lawn and there is a selection of mature shrub beds and borders. A new driveway has recently been installed and features a brick block paved parameter with dressed gravel inlays. This extends to the left hand side of the home which gives access to the attached large single garage, with an electrically operated up and over style door. The drive can easily accommodate three vehicles.

The garden is primarily laid to a kept lawn and there is a wide variety of mature shrubs and bushes, clearly denoting the boundaries.
