Externally, the property benefits from a super larger-than-average double garage and generous gardens extending to just under half an acre. The gardens are beautifully maintained, offering complete privacy and a tranquil setting. Predominantly laid to lawn, they create a wonderful sense of openness both at the front and rear of the home. A substantial shingled driveway provides ample parking for multiple cars and enhances the welcoming approach. The front of the property enjoys a desirable south-west-facing aspect. Framed by mature hedging and trees, the front garden is divided into two distinct areas, each with its own lawn and patio – perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation in total seclusion. The rear garden continues the same theme, also with mature hedging providing complete privacy, with a raised lawn, ideal for family activities or entertaining.

The garage, constructed with double-skin walls and added insulation, is currently set up as a home gym, offering potential for conversion into a playroom, home office, or even an annexe (subject to the necessary consents), adapting as your family's needs evolve.
