Outside, the front of The Manse is approached via steps rising from the roadside, leading to a paved pathway and the entrance door, with established shrubs and planting creating an attractive first impression.

To the rear, the beautifully landscaped, west-facing garden can be accessed through a side gate and is a real highlight of the property, which has clearly been lovingly cared for over the years.

Predominantly laid to lawn, the garden enjoys an abundance of mature shrubs, ornamental trees, colourful flowered beds and well-established borders, providing plenty of interest throughout the changing seasons.

Immediately adjoining the house is a paved seating area, ideal for alfresco dining or relaxing with an evening drink, whilst a pathway continues through the garden to a further seating area and attractive summerhouse.
