Outside - Externally, the large GARAGE was originally built to accommodate a classic car, and so has heating and insulation. There is also storage above and cupboards with a worktop. Adjoining is an outside GARDEN STORE and the ANNEXE. The store has power, light and shelving, and potential to be incorporated within the annexe to increase the accommodation, as does the garage. The ANNEXE is currently utilised as an office, but boasts a WET ROOM, LIVING AREA – which could be utilised as a BEDSIT, and an additional room that is currently utilised as a store, but could be converted to a kitchenette.
The gardens are a labour of love, and have been beautifully landscaped by the current owner. The FRONT GARDEN has a gravelled pathway leading up to the centre, with mature flower beds flanking either side and then sweeping lawns with mature shrubs and trees which surround. There are glorious countryside views from here. There is also a feature water pump, which could be restored. There is a gravelled area to the side providing off-road parking, and then leading around the to rear is a very large GARDEN with lower TERRACE and upper lawns. There are two seating areas to enjoy different vistas of the garden and beyond, as well as to follow the sun around. There are many flower beds providing plenty of colour, as well as fruit trees. To the top is a SUMMER HOUSE of timber construction, with mains power and enclosed DECKED AREA, from which the best of the far-reaching views can be enjoyed. The gardens are well-established and well-tended.
