Parking to the front as well as a separate private driveway extends along the side of the house, providing off-road parking and leading to the detached garage.
The larger than average garden is undoubtedly one of the home’s standout features, wrapping around the side and rear of the property to create several distinct outdoor areas.
Immediately outside the house is a paved seating area, partly covered by a planted pergola-style canopy and providing an inviting place for outdoor dining.
Beyond this, the garden includes shaped lawns, gravelled pathways, raised beds, mature trees and shrubs, colourful planted borders and an attractive wildlife pond.
Further seating areas are positioned throughout the garden, while a timber summerhouse provides additional space for hobbies or relaxation.
The combination of established planting, varied levels and secluded corners gives the garden a great deal of personality and interest.
