Outside
Front: driveway parking is situated to the left of the property with access into the rear garden.

Rear: The west-facing garden is a truly special feature of this home – a peaceful, sun-soaked space to be enjoyed by all. A rose-covered pergola offers a shady spot while well-tended flower beds add colour and charm throughout the seasons. A manicured lawn provides an open, green space with a newly installed wooden shed proving the desired storage. A further seating area has been cleverly positioned to catch the last of the afternoon sunlight whilst enjoying complete privacy.
