GARDENS AND GROUNDS

FRONT GARDEN
The property occupies a particularly attractive setting opposite the local library, museum, and nearby parkland, creating a sense of openness rarely found so close to the centre of town.
The front garden is mainly laid to lawn and bordered by mature trees and shrubs, while gated access is available down both sides of the house leading to the rear.

“I go for a walk every morning around the park – it's a lovely ritual. Everything looks beautiful, and in spring there are lots of blossoms.” - Current homeowner

REAR GARDEN
To the rear, the south-facing garden provides a low-maintenance yet inviting space. Indian sandstone paving provides a generous area for seating and entertaining, bordered by established planting and shrubbery, while mature wisteria climbs elegantly along the walls.

The property benefits from shared driveway access behind automatic entrance gates, with ownership extending halfway across, leading to the substantial double garage, generous covered car port, and EV charging point (owned outright).

The double garage offers excellent versatility beyond vehicle storage, benefiting from an automatic door, power, lighting, plumbing, and a sink unit with cold water supply – ideal for hobbies, workshop use, or practical family living.

The adjoining car port features an impressive high roofline, creating a versatile covered area that could equally serve as sheltered outdoor entertaining space, a drying area, or a protected play space for children.

Further enhancing the home’s efficiency credentials are approximately 10–12 solar panels with battery storage located in the loft. The current owner advises annual savings of approximately £2,000, in addition to around £700 per year in electric vehicle charging savings. The property also benefits from PVCu double glazing throughout and a centralised vacuum system, further contributing to the home’s comfort and practicality.
