Outside

From Longlands Road, the gateway opens to a tarmac driveway offering parking for one vehicle. With walled boundaries, the majority of this garden is laid to lawn and has established planting. A paved path runs to the traditional front of the property and continues down the side where it opens to a wider area where there is a covered timber area, which we believe has steps down to the cellar door (this has not been checked). Continuing from here the patio runs across the front of the formal front of the property which embraces the incredible location and views. The garden then drops down steps to a tiered lawn area and large beds down to the rear boundary wall.

Garage

Further up Longlands Road and above no. 62, to the right hand side there is a single detached garage and parking in-front. This is owned by the property.

Please Note

This property has been in the same family for many years and we do not have Title plans, but the solicitor acting has confirmed and supplied proof of ownership. Therefore, confirming boundaries cannot be possible and merely based upon verbal information supplied. The Titles would need to be registered upon successful sale, and this may cause some conveyancing delay. We do know that the lower part of the garden is on a separate Title.

Additional Information

Energy rating 55 (Band D); Council tax band D.

Our online checks show that Ultrafast Fibre (FTTP) broadband is available, and mobile coverage is predicted to be good outdoors with a range of suppliers.
