Mature shrubbery enhances privacy, while the natural layout attracts local wildlife, including resident badgers. The garden offers both versatility and seclusion, making it ideal for relaxation, family activities, or potential landscaping.

Please Note - During the site assessment, evidence of badger activity was identified within the garden area, including established setts and foraging signs. As badgers and their setts are protected under the Protection of Badgers Act 1992, this presence means the land is not currently suitable for development. Any disturbance, damage, or destruction of an active sett would constitute an offence. Consequently, no construction or groundwork should proceed until appropriate ecological surveys have been completed and guidance from Natural England (or the relevant statutory body) has been sought. Mitigation or relocation measures would require a licensed approach, making development on this land unfeasible at this time.
