The house is approached via electric gates leading to a long driveway and a substantial double garage with utility area, offering plumbing for a washing machine, space for a tumble dryer, additional storage, lighting and power, and a rear courtesy door.

The gardens are a particularly attractive feature of the property. Carefully landscaped and beautifully maintained, they offer manicured lawns and well planted borders that create year round colour and interest, while also ensuring a high degree of seclusion and privacy. Mature trees and shrubs enhance the natural woodland setting, and the thoughtful planting frames the house with greenery. Several patio and decked areas provide inviting spaces for outdoor dining, entertaining, and relaxing. The combination of open lawn and sheltered seating areas ensures the outside space is as adaptable and welcoming as the interior.
