Approached via a leafy green entrance and set well back from the road, the property occupies a wonderfully private plot of just over 1.5 acres, offering an exceptional combination of established gardens, useful outbuildings and natural outdoor space. A gated driveway sweeps into the property, providing extensive parking and leading to a detached double garage with power and lighting. Further gated vehicular access to the side allows vehicles to enter the grounds with ease, providing direct access to the barn, which is equipped with power and lighting, making it ideal for a variety of uses. Within the grounds there are also two summerhouses together with a substantial workshop, again benefiting from power and lighting. The gardens themselves are divided into two distinct areas. Immediately surrounding the house is a beautifully private garden enclosed by mature hedging and established trees, creating a peaceful setting in which to relax and entertain. Archways lead through to the second section of the plot, a more natural and lightly managed expanse that offers exciting potential for a future orchard or simply a haven for wildlife. Rarely does a property offer such a diverse range of outdoor space, combining established gardens, practical outbuildings and over 1.5 acres of grounds that provide both privacy and endless possibilities.
