The gardens are delightfully simple with rockery, stone-flagged, sitting out space and large lawn. The photographs within this brochure best describe the idyllic and particularly charming setting. The privacy is astonishing and there are far-distant views over towards Emley Moor. The property faces a Southerly direction.
