Outside
A landscaped dry garden to the front and side with gravel and pathway leading round to concealed bin storage and oil tank. Whilst the principal gardens comprise three ‘walled‘ sections, the first with lawn with well-stocked flower and herbaceous borders, the second is an enclosed orchard with mature apple and fig trees bordered by herbaceous and flowering borders, with a selection of climbing plants, including rose and clematis. A further gate leads through to the river garden which is laid to grass and running down to the river Blackbourne, with substantial walnut trees. The grounds are approached both from the house and driveway, which in turn gives access to the outbuildings which briefly comprise:

A former cottage which now provides a SINGLE GARAGE with separate WORKSHOP and STORE racked out with wooden shelving. Adjoining which are two DOUBLE GARAGES and a brick and flint SMALL BARN ‘L’ shaped, ideal, subject to planning (now lapsed), for conversion perhaps in to a self-contained annexe or holiday cottage.

AGENT NOTE: The driveway to the side belongs to Bridge House with shared maintenance costs and rights of way.
