The gardens wrap beautifully around the cottage, creating a series of inviting outdoor spaces. To the east, a private, walled garden offers a sheltered spot to enjoy the morning sunshine and admire the countryside views. A pathway runs past a well-stocked raised bed along the rear of the cottage to the larger south-western garden, planted with roses, a mature apple tree, and cherry. From here, timber gates lead behind the double garage to a substantial private copse, planted with beech and fir trees—a wonderful space for children or grandchildren to explore and play.
Practical touches include a handy outside WC, easy access to the boot room, and a sitting room door opening onto the garden for those sunny summer days. The double garage features powered up-and-over doors and timber steps to a versatile loft space, currently used as a studio/music room with potential for other uses (subject to consents). Opposite the cottage, a small paddock of 0.05 acres offers scope for extending the garden or creating a hobby area.
