Electric wrought iron gates open to the tarmacadamed drive that sweeps around the front garden and is lined with an avenue of flowering cherry trees. Here is an expanse of lawn, herbaceous borders and clipped hedging. The driveway offers generous parking/turning options in front of the integrated double garage and continues past the annexe to an additional garage and garden store. The double garage has a workshop bench, power, light, an EV charger and double electric doors. A separate gardener’s wc is also accessed directly from the garden. Landscaped gardens and grounds frame the house. A sunny paved terrace lies adjacent to the garden room, sheltered by a trellis adorned with wisteria. Abutting the house at the rear, is an enclosed courtyard garden bounded by a low hedge and fence with garden gates either side.
The enclosed paddock flanks the house on the east and connects to the large field at the rear. The large field has two points of access; one via the house driveway close to its exit on to Common Lane and a second discrete access from Sandwath Lane allowing separate access directly into the field for horseboxes, machinery, etc. The whole is enclosed with stock fencing and high mature hedges and trees, providing screening and shelter.
