Gardens

Externally the property sits on a good sized plot with a large garden. The driveway provides off road parking for up to 4 cars and there is side access to the rear of the property on both sides of the house.

The rear garden really is something to behold in the summer months as it is west facing with an extensive outdoor patio area, meaning full sun in the afternoon and evening. The very mature garden is largely laid to lawn with a vast range of trees, plants, shrubs and flowers. There are two further smaller patios at the tree-shaded end of the garden. There are also two sheds, one standard sized and the other large, which are both to stay. The garden leads to open fields at the back. The current owners love nothing more than to dine outside in the warmer months on one of the various hardstanding areas or lazing in hammocks between the trees, enjoying the views and wildlife which are on offer.
