External Grounds

The wooden outbuilding on the approach forms part of the property and adds valuable storage, hobby space or running as an existing business as the current owners have, while the traditional stone outbuilding to the rear houses the oil boiler and provides further practical use. Around the home, gravelled areas allow easy movement, softened by established planting, potted displays and natural countryside views. The garden itself offers generous open space with lawn, trees and a tranquil outlook, complemented by a neatly enclosed chicken coop for those interested in small scale poultry keeping or a more self sufficient lifestyle. Altogether, the grounds deliver privacy, charm and a strong sense of rural living.
