The rear garden of Bywater House is a true highlight, generously sized, well landscaped, and designed for both relaxation and outdoor living. A decked terrace extends directly from the rear elevation, offering the perfect space for entertaining or al fresco dining, with seamless access from the principal living area. This private and fully enclosed garden is edged with mature herbaceous borders, bursting with seasonal colour and texture. A crab apple tree stands as a charming focal point, while raised planters and dedicated soft fruit beds will delight keen gardeners. A greenhouse is neatly positioned to one side, ideal for growing produce or nurturing young plants. The expansive lawned area provides ample space for children to play or for hosting summer gatherings, all framed by a backdrop of established shrubs and trees that offer both privacy and a sense of tranquillity. Whether you're a family, an avid gardener, or simply enjoy outdoor entertaining, this garden caters to a wide range of lifestyles with ease.
Bywater House is approached via a sweeping gravel driveway offering ample parking for multiple vehicles and leading to a single garage fitted with up-and-over door, power and lighting, ideal for storage or workshop use. To the front, a lawned garden is complemented by a selection of mature trees and shrubs, adding greenery and privacy. The home itself makes a striking impression with its rendered façade and attractive timber cladding, while full-height glazing around the entrance enhances the sense of light and modern design.
