Outside

To the rear of the property is an extensive wraparound garden, thoughtfully arranged across multiple levels and distinct areas which hug the property and create a variety of spaces to relax and entertain. The principal section is predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by well-maintained mature hedging, trees and shrubs, providing a high degree of privacy and seclusion.

Multiple paved patio terraces lead directly off the main reception rooms, creating a seamless transition between the internal and external spaces, with each patio bordered by raised, well-stocked flower beds. One patio extends onto a concrete pathway which provides access to the rear panel-glazed door of the garage, as well as an additional lawned section of garden - ideal as a drying area or for further outdoor furniture to enjoy the sun throughout the day. This section is similarly enclosed by mature hedging and a selection of established trees.

To the opposite side of the property, a continuation of the pathway leads to a timber storage shed and further paved steps rising to a tucked-away corner of the garden where there is a greenhouse, complemented by a mature vine, along with a gated side access leading round to the front of the property.

To the front, the property is approached off Greystoke Road via a dropped kerb leading onto a shared block-paved driveway, with the property positioned privately at the very rear. The driveway widens to provide ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles, alongside access to the double garage. The frontage is softened by well-stocked planted borders.

Double Garage

With power and lighting connected, windows to the rear aspect, and hard-standing concrete flooring.
