As mentioned earlier in the description the glass roof was replaced a few years ago with a solid one which has made a big difference to this room, making it comfortable to use all year round and with access out to the garden.

OUTSIDE

The property is approached via a driveway with parking comfortably for a couple of cars, progressing up a slight incline to a single garage, and then a few steps take you up to a path which leads towards the front door. Large conifers shield the property from view.  The rear garden is a great size extending to just over 80 ft from the house, the garden has been landscaped over the years with a terrace adjoining the rear of the property and shallow steps leading up to a seating area overlooking the formal lawn, flanked by well stocked borders and hosting an array of mature shrubs and trees. In the rear left corner of the garden, just beyond the vegetable patch, are a couple of timber framed sheds. However, the most substantial outbuilding is a SUMMERHOUSE that has been used as an outside office in the past. The garden enjoys a southerly aspect and a good degree of seclusion.
