OUTSIDE

The property is set in approximately 0.8 of an acre of gardens that would lend themselves perfectly to a growing family looking for a safe and secure outdoor space. The gardens, which are generally laid to grass, surround three sides of the property and are worthy of particular note, as is the general position and outlook of the house. The overall plot measures at least 0.8 of an acre and adjoins farmland to the rear. There is a fine mixture of mature fruit trees as well as mature bushes and trees, and ornamental fish pond.
There is a useful brick built workshop/store with power & light, which is currently in an unfinished state of build.

GARAGE AND PARKING: The driveway sweeps down to a large double garage with power, lighting and water. There is parking available for several vehicles if so desired. The garage also has scope for conversion to a home office/ annex (subject to the necessary planning consents).
