EXTERNALLY
The approach is every bit as impressive as the home itself. Accessed through a substantial gated entrance from the private lane, the property is nestled within magnificent walled gardens that once formed part of the historic Wellnage. Enclosed by high stone walls, the grounds offer an exceptional level of seclusion, creating an enchanting setting that feels both timeless and exclusive. A driveway leads effortlessly to the double garage and the house, providing ample parking while enhancing the property's distinguished sense of arrival. The beautifully established gardens are a particular highlight, having been cultivated over many years to create a landscape of remarkable beauty and year-round interest. An abundance of mature trees provides structure and dappled shade, while colourful herbaceous perennials return each season with an ever-changing display of flowers. Fruit trees and bushes add both charm and practicality, complementing the planted borders that are filled with ornamental shrubs and flowering plants. Climbing plants gracefully adorn the historic garden walls, softening the stonework and lending an unmistakable sense of romance and character. Predominantly laid to lawn across the front and sides of the property, the gardens provides a private generous space.
