Outside
A tree-lined drive from York Lane follows the line of the paddock where it will meet the electric five-bar gate that will open to Leckby Barn. Here the gravelled drive will sweep in front of the house and double car port (including an EV point) with ample space for parking and turning. The private formal gardens and extensive paved terracing are orientated to face south and west across open countryside and will be concealed from the driveway behind a handsome brick wall and double timber gates. The paved terrace will have raised beds planted with sculptural shrubs and will wrap around two sides of the house providing superb opportunities for al fresco dining. In addition, a brick-enclosed courtyard will benefit from afternoon and evening sunshine. There is a paddock to the front and to the rear, and the whole will be bounded by post and rail fencing.
