The garden reaches from Yew Tree Hill at the front, with vehicular access to driveway parking to Chapel Lane at the rear where there is a single garage.

The rear gardens are principally laid to lawn for ease of maintenance offering ample space for family recreation and the keen gardener alike.

To the front of the house, a deep lawned garden is set above stone walls which flank a long drive leading to the side and rear of the house.

The gardens set the house well back from the roadside and include an attractive sitting area with herbaceous borders adding colour and interest.

At the head of the drive, a wooden shed provides garden storage close to the house. TENURE - Freehold.
