Electric entrance gates enhance both security and exclusivity, opening into a beautifully maintained, low maintenance outdoor space. Ornamental hedging borders the paved courtyard.
The rear garden is beautifully landscaped and designed for ease of maintenance, featuring a limestone paved patio area that provides an ideal space for outdoor dining and relaxation. Beyond, a generous lawn area is framed by neatly clipped ornamental hedging and a series of raised redwood boxed planting beds, adding structure, colour and year round interest.
The garden is enclosed with timber close boarded fencing, ensuring excellent privacy while blending seamlessly with the surroundings. A fully serviced storage shed with power provides exceptional functionality and houses a Bosch washing machine, Zanussi tumble dryer, and the Vokera Mynute HE Gas boiler. A separate discreet bin store further enhances practicality.
