Exterior The property benefits from sitting on a very large plot with a low maintenance gravelled frontage and paved driveway which leads down the side of the property and to the garage.
Please note, a small area of the drive next to the pavement which has been adopted by the property is not legally owned within the property boundary but has an easement over it providing access.
The paved driveway leads through double gates and up to the detached double garage and a gate provides access from the driveway to the enclosed rear garden.
To the rear is a very spacious and private plot with paved patio and lawned garden, whilst there is a mature hedgerow.
There is also a paved area to the rear of the garage which is the perfect storage area and has even been used for a caravan in the past (although access would include removing the gate and fencing between the garage and property).

Further Useful Information There is an intruder alarm and electric underfloor heating throughout the property, with controls in the kitchen and one of the bedrooms, although neither have been used for a long time and the sellers are unsure if they are in full working order.
