The rear garden is a true highlight of the property. Designed for both family living and entertaining, it includes a stone-chipped seating area, a pleasant patio and a raised deck perfect for outdoor dining. The well-maintained lawns are bordered by flower beds, shrubs and trees, with a modern summer house set amongst them. A stone-chipped path leads to a separate garden area with raised sleeper beds, fruit trees, a timber shed and trellising. Beyond this, a large stone-chipped space with a substantial timber outhouse offers further parking with double timber gates to the road, or building potential, subject to planning.
