Set back from the road behind a lawned frontage, a generous gravel driveway provides ample parking and access to the integral garage. It includes low-maintenance plantings and is enclosed by smart contemporary-style fencing, all complementing the home’s façade.

The rear garden is a particular highlight, having been thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of elegant outdoor spaces. Fully enclosed by fencing, it features a terrace adjoining the house, together with two further seating areas, including a dedicated space for al fresco dining. Gravel pathways and structured planting of lavender, twisted bay trees and ornamental shrubs provide year-round interest, while a spherical water feature creates an attractive focal point. To one side there is a lawned area and to the rear, pleached portugues laurel, enhance both privacy and greenery. The result is a stylish, low-maintenance garden ideally suited to entertaining and family life.
