OUTSIDE
The Cottage is set within attractive and well-established wrap-around grounds, offering a wonderful balance of practicality and outdoor enjoyment. To the front of the property, a generous gravelled driveway provides parking for up to four vehicles and leads to a detached double garage, offering excellent storage and secure parking as well the potential (STPP) to create an annex. Mature hedging and planting frame the approach, giving the property an appealing sense of privacy and arrival. The rear garden is a real highlight, thoughtfully arranged to suit both family life and entertaining. A spacious paved patio creates an ideal area for outdoor dining, summer gatherings and relaxed entertaining, with plenty of space for garden furniture and barbecues. The main garden is bordered by established trees, shrubs and planting, providing a pleasant outlook and a good degree of seclusion. The garden offers ample space for children to play, keen gardeners to enjoy, or simply for relaxing in a peaceful village setting. The layout allows the patio and lawn to be enjoyed throughout the day, while the overall plot feels both manageable and substantial.
Altogether, the outside space complements the character and proportions of the house beautifully, offering generous parking, excellent garaging and a private, versatile garden ideally suited to modern family living and entertaining.
