Outside

Outside, the property continues to impress. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn, with mature trees, shrubs and well-stocked borders, and extend down to a stream running along the rear boundary. There are several seating areas, including a raised patio and a courtyard with pergola, providing great spaces to enjoy the garden throughout the day.

To the front, an extensive block-paved driveway offers ample parking for a number of vehicles, along with space suitable for a caravan or motorhome. The detached double garage, with pitched roof, provides excellent storage and potential for further use (subject to the necessary consents), and benefits from electric doors, power and lighting. A separate workshop/store to the side also offers further flexibility.

Please note: A section of the rear garden is currently rented from the drainage board at £26 per annum. Buyers may choose to continue this arrangement or reinstate the original boundary if preferred.

A fantastic opportunity to acquire a spacious, well-built home in a peaceful rural setting, with plenty of room both inside and out.
