Outside
The expansive wraparound garden is undoubtedly a feature, setting the house well back from the road with a surprising degree of seclusion and privacy and a lack of immediate neighbours.
A gated driveway offers generous hardstanding to the front of the house with parking for numerous cars and a path meanders to the storm porch. There is a second pedestrian gate providing access from the road.
The driveway continues to the rear of the property to a five-bar gate opening onto a further area of hardstanding, again providing generous additional parking and giving access to the excellent detached garage/store room with an open carport, alongside which is a smaller garage and a further useful storage room with ladder access to a first floor room which is boarded, has electricity connected and could provide a variety of uses.
The gardens are a delight and surround the house to all sides. There is a large terrace to the rear offering excellent space for al fresco dining and entertaining and an expansive area of lawn. Separate orchard area with a selection of young trees and a fence-enclosed vegetable garden laid to gravel with three large raised beds.
To the front is an additional area of garden screened by a mature hedge, which offers an enhanced sense of privacy. There is a further paved area to one side also suitable for seating and entertaining.
