Step outside

Nestled alongside Chantry Copse woodland on Chantry Lane, you are never more than a step away from nature. The front garden offers mature flower beds and a pathway leading to entrance door, off street parking for 2/3 cars. A stunning, verdant, private rear garden has many mature trees and shrubs, central lawn surrounded by flower beds and large double glazed patio, with a gate in the fence to the rear which leads you on to the woodland ideal for walking dogs. This garden is not overlooked and is a tranquil setting with lots of wildlife to enjoy. The current owners have created a haven for wild birds, woodpecker, nuthatches, blue tits, wrens and thrushes are amongst the frequent visitors. It is a delight to sit mindfully under the evergreen trees and watch from the secluded decking at the rear or the beautiful patio area whilst alfresco dining with family or friends. As sunlight fades the garden and decking can be lit to show the beautiful trees so that you can continue to enjoy it into the night.
