Exterior

The Grounds

The front of the property is approached by a large In & Out shingle driveway which provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles.
The front garden is well screened from the road and consists of shrub & plant borders/areas that surround the driveway, and secure access through to the rear garden.

There is a detcahed double-width garage with electric up & over door, power & lighting connected. The garage has double doors to the rear which open, and provide vehicular access, to the rear garden,

The overall plot measures approximately 1 ACRE (subject to survey), with the majority being to the rear of the property.

The rear garden is arranged into two main sections.
The main part which is immediately to the back of the house has been well-kept and maintained with many shrub & plant areas and borders surrounding the vast lawned area. From the back door there is an outhouse, useful for storage, and a raised decked area. The gardens consist of many mature trees including; 3 x Walnut, Nectarine, 2 x Apple.
The second part of the garden is a very large lawned area/paddock and probably makes up over a third of the whole plot. This area is laid to lawn with mature hedge/tree borders and backs onto further fields/farmland. We understand from the current vendor that this part of the garden was previously used as a working paddock for horses. There is an old stable with 3 stalls for horses which if required will need full renovation, or can be knocked down to give more garden space.
