Driveway and Gardens
The property is approached over a block paved driveway with ample
space for two vehicles and brick pillars at the foot of the drive
incorporating auto dusk lighting. The front and rear gardens were
both created by "Bamboo Landscaping" - an Italian garden design
company, in a contemporary and low maintenance style. The rear
garden was specifically designed to bring the "outside in" and to
flow through from the living area of the kitchen via the tri-fold
doors. The rear garden is finished in cream tiles and oiled, wood
decking with matching wood trellis fencing to the borders. The
outdoor living space is complimented with an open fireplace,
built-in gas BBQ and double burner gas hob with cupboards and
drawers beneath and lighting over. A corner bed flourishes with
tropical plants and concealed lighting and a raised decking area is
ideal for sitting in the sun, surrounded by bamboo with concealed
lighting underneath. There are also further outside lights and
power points. A gate leads to a large, covered storage shed along
the side of the house, ideal for cycle and log storage, with lights
and a door to the front of the property. To the other side of the
house, there is a gate to a further concealed area with a storage
shed. To the front of the property, steps lead from the driveway to
a raised, tiled area (finished in the same tiles as the rear
garden) with a central Olive tree and concealed lighting
underneath, bordered by Box hedging, shrubs and a lime and mortar
wall along the front boundary.
