Outside

To the front of the property, there is an area of enclosed garden, with a gated pathway leading to the main entrance. At the rear, there is a section of attractively laid patio immediately adjoining the kitchen, offering space for outdoor seating. Please note this part of the outside is subject to a right of access for the neighbouring properties (on foot), often typical with a period terrace home.

Five paved steps then lead to the main garden, which is a fabulous size and is predominantly laid to lawn with established borders, shrubs and planting. With plenty of space for those with children, and ideal for green-fingered purchasers, the garden includes a brick pizza oven and a useful stone outbuilding.
