Gardens and Grounds

Hazelbank sits on a plot which measures a little over 1/4 acre with an East to Westerly orientation from front to rear, giving the home preferred exposures for all seasons. The gravel driveway leads to the left hand side of the home to provide generous off road parking in front of the detached single garage. Attached to the garage is a wood-built car port. The front garden is elevated from the lane and is laid to a kept lawn.

The balance of the garden is lawn with a variety of mature shrubs and kept beds and the rear boundary is defined by a low cut hedge affording the property views across the adjoining farmland and beyond.
