This leads to the attached SINGLE GARAGE, which has an electric roller door, power and light connected with storage in the eaves space. As previously intimated, there is scope to convert the garage into additional accommodation, subject to planning permission, especially, bearing in mind, that at the rear, there is the utility room, which is quite spacious. Therefore, the garage could possibly make a bed / sitting room with kitchen and shower room within the existing utility room, all subject to planning permission.

The front garden is principally laid to lawn, interspersed with mature specimen trees and shrubs, including some lovely spring specimens including magnolia, camellia, rhododendron, clematis etc. To the right of the property, there is a picket fence, and pedestrian gate leading to an area which could become an extension to the drive and accommodate a touring caravan or similar, subject to requirements, but at present accommodates a whirlygig washing line. There is also a similar picket fence to the left of the bungalow, separating the front from the rear garden, which, once again, is laid to sweeping lawns. There are well stocked herbaceous beds and borders and a terrace, with steps leading down onto the lawn. There are further mature specimen trees and shrubs, including bamboo, azaleas, rhododendrons etc. Within the garden, there is a timber garden shed, and an aluminium framed greenhouse. The gardens run down to the stream, which is a most attractive feature. The whole is fence and hedge enclosed, and amounts to 0.447 of an acre.
