Outside

The property is approached at the end of no through lane, via a driveway providing masses of parking and access to the garage and outbuildings. The grounds are a particular highlight, extending to approximately two acres of mature gardens that offer a high degree of privacy. The gardens are a real feature and offer level areas of lawn, interspersed with mature trees, shrubs and well-stocked borders and specimen trees. A large paved terrace provides an ideal space for outdoor entertaining and al fresco dining, while various seating areas allow enjoyment of the surroundings throughout the day, including a sunken garden. Outbuildings are thoughtfully arranged and include a well-designed garage with inspection pit, workshop, store and potting shed, all of which offer excellent flexibility for a variety of uses. The garage, in particular, provides clear potential for conversion into self-contained annexe accommodation, subject to the usual planning consents. Additionally, the size of the plot offers further opportunity to construct new or replacement garaging if desired. Overall, the outside space complements the house perfectly, offering both practicality and a beautiful natural environment.
