The Gardens The present owner is a passionate gardener and has created an absolutely stunning garden. Immediately adjoining the house, there is a terrace, an ideal area for barbecuing and entertaining. There are then lawns with flower and herbaceous borders and an ornamental archway opens into formal gardens with manicured privet hedges to one side and vegetable beds to the other. A path leads through these gardens to a working area, where the present owners have sited their greenhouses and garden sheds, together with a composting area and a hen enclosure. The owner intends to take a greenhouse and garden shed with them but will leave the remaining buildings. There are three traditional outbuildings providing useful storage, located to one side of the garden.

Important Note A path runs along the side of the property along which a neighbouring property has a right of way to access their own garden. The path could be very easily screened from the main garden if required.
