OUTSIDE

Enter down a small lane, through a large wrought iron gate opening onto a private driveway with lawns either side and a generous parking area and turning for three cars.

The well stocked and established garden is a beautiful and attractive feature of the property, and provides a secluded haven which despite its central village location is not at all overlooked. The level garden is South/south-west facing and gets the sun all day. It is the perfect spot for badminton, football, table tennis, trampolining, picnics, a hammock and family fun. The large sunny 30' terrace is wonderful for entertaining and has plenty of space for table chairs and BBQ. 

The gardens sit to the front and side of the house. There are two large lawned areas, with a variety of established plants along with mature Magnolia, Apple, Greengage and Plum trees, a small pond with frogs and newts, tree-house and sheds. There is also a beautiful Wisteria at the front of the house with roses and honeysuckle around the door.

The wood lies to the left of the house next to the field and is a great place for building dens and features a huge conker tree.

In all garden extending to ¾ acre.
