The extensive gardens wrap around the home and offer exceptional privacy, framed by mature trees and hedging. There are multiple seating areas, raised decking, a stable, and ample space for animals, vegetable plots or simply enjoying the idyllic surroundings. A separate outbuilding with power and water further adds to the property's versatility.

A standout feature of the home is the rear extension, which includes a separate staircase leading to a large en suite bedroom, entirely self-contained from the main house, creating an ideal annex setup for extended family, guests, or potential rental income.

The one-bedroom annex can have its own independent access and offers a peaceful and private living space.
