A particular highlight of the property is the beautifully tended private gardens which wrap around the front, side and rear of the house. Predominantly laid to lawn with a patio area and established planting, they provide a delightful setting to enjoy throughout the seasons. A mature apple tree and pond add interest, while a charming summer house (with power supply) and a practical garden shed further enhance the outdoor space. The large detached garage, together with the private driveway accommodating up to three cars, provides excellent parking and additional storage.
