Garden

POSITION The house is sat in lovely large mature gardens and are approached by a driveway which principally gives access under an archway. There is also a right of way over the neighbouring property giving flexibility in terms of parking and turning space. The driveway is superbly finished with cobble style surface which is particularly pleasing.

Garden

GARDENS AND GROUNDS The gardens are both mature and exceptionally well maintained. There is a delightful block paved patio/sitting out area to the side and access leads through to the front gardens which have stone flagged patio/pathway to the front of the home. There is a covered walkway through to the pedestrian gate which gives access to the lanes at the side. The boundaries of the garden are well established, have mature trees and shrubbery and there is a very large garden shed/workshop as well as a huge greenhouse. It should be noted that the property occupies a remarkable position, being shielded from other houses by mature trees and shrubbery and has bungalows to the other side.
