Gardens, land, and parking – Delightful, mature gardens, acres of protected land, and excellent private parking

The home is set in approximately 45 acres of land.

The paddocks (one with a stable) create an exciting opportunity to keep various types of animals, with the current owners having had a diverse range over the years, including rescue donkeys, ducks, and ponies, offering a unique and exciting lifestyle opportunity.

To the front of the house, a large driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles.
