Outside:
There is a fenced and hedged front garden with a paved driveway providing off-road parking for two to three vehicles. Flowering and shrub borders frame the space and there is also a garage/bicycle store with gated side access to the rear of the property.
The rear garden is a particularly attractive feature of the property. Thoughtfully landscaped, it is principally laid to lawn with a number of block- paved patio areas that provide ideal spots for outdoor dining and entertaining. A meandering pathway leads through well stocked flowering and shrub borders, giving the garden a natural sense of structure and maturity as you move through the space.
Towards the far end of the garden, the area has, in previous years been left to grow as a wildflower and grasses space, creating a softer and more natural feel which attracts wildlife and adds another dimension to the garden through the seasons. A curved path leads to a partition and an ornamental pond, with a small bridge, leading to the large garden shed and beyond. Mature trees frame the boundaries and provide a wonderful sense of privacy and enclosure.
Given the property’s very convenient and central location, the garden offers a real sense of peace and seclusion, feeling calm and established, and providing a lovely outdoor space that works equally well for relaxed family time as it does for entertaining.
