Outside
Outside, 5 bar wooden gates enclose the gravelled parking area which is extensive enough for numerous vehicles. A double width garage/workshop sits upon the driveway which is accessed by an electronically operated sectional door. The garage has a double glazed window to the front to allow natural light in, a rear door and light and power connected with its own separate fuse box.
To the rear of the garage is an enclosed, raised area of garden which has been landscaped in order to use for a fruit/vegetable plot. To the side of the house is a raised patio area, perfect for ‘Al Fresco’ dining as it is just the right height to see the views over the hedge. A lower level patio extends round to the rear of the property and a pergola creates a pretty walkway to the good sized area of lawn which is also fully enclosed, mostly by mature hedging but also some wooden fencing.
