To the front of the property is a substantial block paved driveway providing parking for several vehicles and leading to the front and side doors. There are well-stocked borders planted with mature shrubs including holly and fuchsia and a pathway leading around the side of the house to the rear. The south facing rear garden is a particular feature of this property, having been lovingly maintained by the current owners over the years to provide a beautiful haven for all. Accessed from the kitchen is a clay brick balcony with roof covering providing shelter and steps leading down to the lawn and a further large clay brick patio which has useful storage under the balcony and is a beautiful and secluded space for al-fresco dining. The remainder is mainly laid to lawn with hedged and fenced perimeters, a wildlife pond planted with arum lilies, a wooden Wendy house and large shed with compost area behind in addition to a productive vegetable patch. The swimming pool area then leads on to a further wild garden which has two useful garden sheds, two large, mature apple trees and is mainly left for native plants such as nettles and blackberries. The gardens have been planted with a fantastic variety of mature shrubs, trees and other plants , most chosen as native or wildlife-friendly species including verbena, rosemary, syringa, acer, bamboo, cherry, cordyline, Himalayan honeysuckle, holly, box and fuchsia, to name a few. We are told that the garden is a haven for bats, badgers, toads, frogs, newts and woodpeckers, among others.

The pool area is a fantastic area for the whole family to enjoy. The pool itself has a paved surround along with a decking area ideal for a table and chairs and is bounded by a low wall with screening provided by fence and hedge.

The timber garage is ideal for storage of bikes, kayaks, etc. and/or used as a workshop, depending on individual needs. It has double doors to the front, a pedestrian door to the side, two windows to the side and a further one to the rear.
