Outside
The property is nestled into an established and private position with a total plot size measuring approximately 0.17 acre. A metal gate and period stone wall enclose the frontage and mature trees and bushes provide an excellent degree of privacy. The hardstanding driveway flows into the ground with ample off road parking, with a door into the house, timber double doors into the oversized garage and secure gates either side of the house that provide access to the wraparound garden. 

To the eastern side of the property lies a block-paved courtyard, offering an ideal spot for morning coffee in the sunshine. The grounds flow seamlessly toward the rear, where a characterful low stone wall perfectly highlights the stunning vistas beyond.
Throughout this area, an abundance of mature trees, shrubs, and perennial borders blend into an expertly curated wild garden. This enchanting space has been intentionally crafted by the current owner to benefit the local ecosystem, creating a peaceful haven for birds and wildlife to thrive.
