Additional Information

The property has partial double-glazing, gas-fired central heating virtually throughout, and external lighting. Please note, images showing the property's boundaries are approximate.

Front Garden

To the front is where the majority of the gardens and grounds are to be found. Running the full width of the home is a stone flagged raised terrace which overlooks the very large gardens with mature shrubbery and trees. With clearing to some extent, the garden could be quite exceptional. The garden has the benefit of a driveway which is currently unused but connects through to New Road, and we have enclosed a plan from a local architect showing the possibility of creating a good sized driveway within the garden and also space for a double garage (subject to necessary consents if required). The driveway currently exists but has not been used for some time. Toad Hole is a combination of three delightful cottages and we are reliably informed that the neighbouring property is now a single dwelling, classifying Toad Hall as a semi-detached property.

Rear Garden

To the rear, the property adjoins the driveway/lane which gives access to the subject property and a neighbouring property, and to the side is a pebbled area.
