Outside
The property is approached from the highway via a five bar wooden gate leading onto a gravel driveway and a parking area suitable for several vehicles.  Here, there is a discreetly placed LPG tank and storage area hidden behind willow hurdling.  To the front is a cottage style garden where there is a gate that leads to the front door. The front garden is bordered by a Holly hedge and an eclectic mix of well stocked shrub borders.  An access to the side leads to the rear garden where there are four raised beds and raised borders and a central Bay tree. The rear garden contains a greenhouse.  A further opening from the rear garden leads into a further garden area which has been cleverly divided into formal and casual gardens which is partly laid to lawn and enclosed by hedging and trees as well as post and rail fencing.  There are two timber sheds, a timber log store and a composting area with post and rail fending delineating the boundary.  The garden has a paved area immediately behind the garden room which provides a private and sheltered seating area and is divided from the more formal gardens by an arbour and hedging.  This leads to a circular central centre piece with brick paved pathway, along with well stocked cottage style flower borders and a seating area in front of timber and brick outbuildings formerly the wash houses, retaining the original coppers. Beyond this lies a further area of lawn surrounded by a Grade II listed brick and flint wall and hedging to rear.  There is a further reclaimed brick terrace, perfect for catching the morning sun.  The garden has an outside tap and outside lighting.
