Externally

The garden comprises three standard park plots which we believe should total three quarters of an acre. Each park plot, as laid down within the covenants is one thousand square yards. The gardens which envelop the property are simply stunning, mature, established and provide substantial outdoor space. Areas of lawn stretch outwards towards deep borders offering a wide variety of trees including Acers, Birch and Beech. A charming water feature provides an air of ambience to the gardens positioned close to a high quality summer house of timber and glazed construction. The perimeters are finished in a combination of fencing and Victorian walls, softened by a wide variety of established shrubs, trees and flowers set into the surrounding perimeter. To the rear there is a out-building and garage backing on to the service road which runs parallel to North Road.
