The garden is laid to lawn with flower/shrub borders and a stonework patio. The elevation of the garden allows for beautiful rural views to the south and is also private with no immediate overlooking neighbours. The rear garden also has a shed and greenhouse. At the front of the property there are two good size stores built into either side of the house, one of which houses the oil central heating boiler and the other runs from the front to the rear of the property, perfect for storing garden equipment or used as a workshop.
