OUTSIDE
The property is situated in a lovely residential setting with wide verges and cherry trees lining both sides of the road. The plot itself slopes upwards with a steep driveway providing off-road parking and leading to the integral garage. There is a pretty front garden mostly laid to lawn with a particularly nice Acer tree, set behind a low ragstone wall. A combination of neat hedging and timber and chain linked fences mark the boundaries to the garden with gated pathways running down both sides of the house providing direct access to the rear.
The delightful back garden is south facing and approximately 130 feet in length. It has been landscaped with stone retaining walls to provide a generous area of lawn that is relatively flat. There is plenty of space for children to play with a climbing frame towards the back of the garden that will remain. To the immediate rear of the house is a good sized patio that is a real sun trap and provides a great spot for al fresco entertaining. There are low maintenance beds finished with bark and filled with a number of herbaceous shrubs and flowering plants with 3 sheds providing plenty of outside storage space, one of which is particularly large.
The overall plot measures approximately 0.2 acres.
