Outside

The property sits in a plot of c.0.2 acres and was one of the reasons our clients chose the property originally. In the 14 years that they have been there they have created an interesting and well stocked garden in a cottage garden-style. A spacious terrace leads off the property and overlooks the garden providing a lovely place for al fresco dining or to just sit and enjoy the garden. In the lower section of the garden there are two greenhouses and a fig tree. There are also apple, pear and cherry trees with soft fruits including gooseberries, blackcurrants, raspberries and loganberries. Also worth noting is that the plot is fully contained making it ideal for children and pets.

Parking is in a lay-by off Daniels Lane with access to a garage (6m x 4.36m) with a workshop to the rear (4.36m x 3.25m) (both have power and light) and a 5 bar gate leading into a tarmac driveway with double tandem parking.
