The driveway, laid with a blend of gravel, paving stones and cobbles, is illuminated by external motion-sensor lighting and a Victorian-style lamp post, and provides parking for two cars with a turning area. A paved terrace outside the kitchen creates a sheltered, sun-filled space ideal for outdoor seating.
A wrought-iron garden gate opens into the beautifully landscaped garden, which is fully walled, exceptionally private and planted with established shrubs and lawns bordered by sweeping herbaceous beds. French doors from the garden room open south onto a sheltered wraparound terrace, centred around a small pond with an attractive water feature. A beech hedge trained over an archway leads to a further area of lawn, dotted with mature trees including a magnificent cedar, a weeping pear, hollies and a cherry encircled by box hedging and underplanted with spring bulbs. Interconnecting pathways meander to the far end of the garden, where a productive kitchen garden features four raised beds, raspberry canes, a bay tree, a garden shed and a composting area.
