A door from the kitchen provides internal access into the garage.

Outside The Croft occupies a superb plot approached via a chipping driveway providing off-road parking for approximately four vehicles and leading to the double garage.

The front and side gardens have been beautifully landscaped with manicured lawns, mature trees, shrubs and planting, all enclosed by attractive stone walls and established hedging.

A gated access provides useful storage space alongside the garage. The double garage has been partitioned into two useful sections, both benefitting from power, lighting and up-and-over doors.

One side of the garage can be accessed from inside the property. To the rear, a sheltered courtyard sits directly outside the bi-fold doors, creating an ideal entertaining area.

The gardens then wrap around the property, offering an abundance of mature planting, established trees, colourful borders, generous lawned areas and several patio seating areas, all enjoying a countryside backdrop and an exceptional level of privacy.
