OUTSIDE
The overall plot of 0.59 of an acre, is beautifully secluded, with a long gravelled driveway leading to a quiet road through the village
The grounds are predominantly laid to lawn with a variety of established fruit trees, mature shrubbery and high hedgerow
There is also a small kitchen garden and situated to the rear of the plot (both with power and lighting) are a large greenhouse and an additional wooden outbuilding workshop providing further storage
The impressive 44' x 22' filtered swimming pool has been much enjoyed by the vendor’s family, and has a covering structure (which amplifies heat and protects from general external debris) having quadruple-folding doors at the front enabling this to open up completely, as well the facility for the structure itself to concertina back by approximately a third, to provide a wider open space around the pool for BBQ and entertaining on increasingly frequent hot days
The extensive block-paved driveway provides off-street parking for numerous vehicles, with additional space, if required, from a detached timber garage with power, lighting, and access to a boarded eave space above, with an external log-store along one side
