The front garden is a particular feature, thoughtfully planted with a variety of established trees, shrubs and seasonal flowering plants, including two mature magnolia trees and an apple tree.
To the rear, the gardens have been carefully cultivated and offer a wonderful combination of productive and ornamental spaces.
A vegetable garden is complemented by raspberry, blackcurrant and gooseberry bushes, together with a dedicated strawberry bed.
A courtyard terrace provides access to the original cart shed, now utilised as a workshop and summerhouse, alongside a further clay lump outbuilding, both benefiting from power and lighting.
