Situated on the edge of this small hamlet, the property benefits from excellent parking facilities with a large gated forecourt providing ample additional off-road space, ideal for those with a caravan or boat etc, in addition to which there is a detached block-built garage with up-and-over door. The attractively landscaped gardens, which lie mainly to the eastern side of the property, include an extensive decked terrace with casement doors from the conservatory, broad paved patio, lawned areas and shrubberies - the whole garden area being particularly well enclosed to all boundaries and ideal, therefore, for those with children, pets and visiting grandchildren etc.
