Outside offers a substantial private driveway with access shared with just one neighbouring property. Front garden having lawn with mature trees and evergreen borders. Enclosed walled rear garden enjoying undulating lawns, additonal mature trees, evergreen borders and well stocked vegetable/fruit plots. Garage with remote control sectional door.
