Outside

The garden is a very special feature of the house and has been landscaped to take full advantage of the setting. A paved terrace extends across the full width of the rear of the property and adjoins the sitting room. From here, steps lead up to the lawn beyond which there is a raised terrace to one corner and an ideally positioned summerhouse. The lawn is bordered by a variety of flowering shrubs and plants. Pathways to either side of the terrace lead to the front. Within the rear garden there is a potting shed and timber shed.

The house is approached via a pair of six bar gates and set well back from the lane behind a mature beech hedge with an area of lawn to one side with a wide variety of flowering shrubs and plants. A tarmac driveway provides ample parking and access to the double garage.
