OUTSIDE
This property stands in a generous plot of approximately 0.3 ACRE (subject to survey). It is situated at the end of a private shared cul-de-sac driveway, serving just four properties. The front is enclosed by fencing and hedging, being laid mainly to a shingle and slate chipping driveway and turning area, providing vehicular standing for up to four cars. NOTE: This originally led to Integral Double Garages, but these have been partly converted into possible additional living accommodation, but could be reinstated to their original use, if desired. Gates on either side of the property give access to the large SOUTHERLY-FACING rear garden. This is a garden with a variety of different areas, enclosed by fencing and hedging, being laid principally to lawn on different levels, with large paved patio areas, PERGOLA, raised shingle and herbaceous borders, METAL STORAGE SHED, GREENHOUSE, and outside water tap. Within the garden is a deep banked 'wild area', enclosed by fencing for safety and security, approached via a 5-bar gate. At the far end of the garden, there is a further area of lawn, enclosed by fencing, which could make an ideal informal play area for children.

NOTE: The vendor has informed us that mains gas, water, electricity and drainage are connected. The council tax band is understood to be Band F.
