Gardens & Outdoor Space
Set within an enviable 0.11-acre plot, the garden is a true showpiece of this charming home — thoughtfully landscaped and richly planted to create a tranquil, private sanctuary. From the moment you step out, a series of garden rooms unfolds, beginning with a sheltered patio area ideal for al fresco dining or relaxing beneath mature planting and climbing roses. A meandering path rises through densely planted beds filled with box topiary, lavender, flowering perennials and specimen shrubs, leading to an upper lawn framed by established trees and boundary hedging for total seclusion.

At the summit, a delightful lawn with dappled shade from a mature fruit tree provides an elevated vantage point with sweeping views over rooftops and surrounding countryside. Additional features include a wildlife pond with a wooden bridge, a hidden timber arbour, and a variety of places to sit and enjoy the ever-changing garden throughout the day. Aerial imagery reveals just how substantial and private the grounds are — the plot stretches deep behind the house, tucked discreetly away from neighbouring homes.

Outbuilding Potential
A useful brick-built outbuilding sits within the grounds, currently used for storage. This structure offers excellent potential for conversion, whether as a home office, studio, garden room, or guest accommodation (subject to the necessary consents). A neighbouring property has successfully converted a similar building into a third bedroom, demonstrating the scope for enhancing both functionality and value.
