The entrance porch has stained timber-clad elevations beneath a slate-covered mono-pitched roof, with casement windows to the front and side.

Front Garden, Parking and Garage
A substantial off-road parking area is accessed via a dropped kerb and leads to a detached double concrete sectional garage, with two separate up-and-over doors and a corrugated asbestos cement roof. The parking area is enclosed by hedging and picket fencing, with close-boarded fencing and a gate to the rear garden. A further picket gate provides access to the front and side gardens.

Please note: The adjoining terraced properties benefit from a right of way over the side and rear pathways.

Rear Garden
Extending to over 100 ft, the rear garden is a particular feature of the property. A paved area immediately behind the house provides space for outdoor seating.

A picket gate set within an established hawthorn hedge opens onto the main garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn with mature shrubs and planting around its boundaries. Two brick outbuildings provide useful storage, complemented by a timber shed to the left-hand side.

Post-and-rail fencing marks the rear boundary, allowing far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside towards Blakesley and the historic windmill.
