GARDEN GROUNDS

Tower House enjoys a commanding and picturesque position within its surrounding rural landscape, approached via a private road shared with only a small number of neighbouring properties, ensuring a high degree of peace, privacy, and exclusivity. The immediate gardens extend surround the house and are mostly laid to lawn and providing an attractive setting that perfectly complements the house. A large, tarred driveway offers ample parking for multiple vehicles and incorporates a convenient turning area to the front of the property.
A particularly charming feature is the octagonal stone-built summer house, which provides an ideal vantage point from which to relax and take in the beautifully kept gardens and far-reaching countryside views.


OUTBUILDINGS

Adjacent to the main residence are two substantial detached garage buildings, both offering exceptional versatility and significant potential for a range of uses. The original double garage, constructed in 2002 alongside the house, is arranged over two levels and provides both vehicular and pedestrian access at ground floor level, together with a generous workshop area ideal for storage, hobbies, or practical use. Above, the first-floor attic space comprises three well-proportioned rooms, each with double-glazed windows, offering excellent potential for use as home offices, studio space, ancillary accommodation, or further storage.

The second building is a detached triple garage, added circa 2015, which further enhances the functionality and flexibility of the property. This too benefits from a fixed staircase leading to a spacious attic level, providing additional adaptable space. Together, these buildings offer outstanding scope for a variety of purposes, including small business use, creative studios, or conversion potential for ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.
Both buildings are fully equipped with power and lighting, ensuring they are immediately usable and highly practical. Their scale, layout, and separate access potential make them a rare and valuable asset, particularly for those seeking workspace alongside home life in a rural setting.
