OUTSIDE
The property is approached by a driveway leading to off-road parking and a further driveway giving access to the garage/workshop and front door. It should be noted that the garage could be utilised in a number of ways including a workshop, store-room gym or perhaps most notably, further accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. The gardens are made up of two distinct areas. The first is the pretty and attractive front garden which is laid to lawn and further complemented by a terrace seating area, pond, and an abundance of shrubs, trees and colourful flora. It's a private and romantic setting for alfresco dining and sitting out through the warmer months. The rear garden, also laid to lawn, offers another secluded spot for whiling away the summer months and should one create an annexe as part of the accommodation, it would become its own designated outdoor space.
