The outside space is equally impressive, beginning with a welcoming front garden that can be accessed via the property’s driveway or through a gated pedestrian entrance.

Gated side access leads to the rear garden, where a large patio area provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining and relaxation. The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and is enhanced by a wide selection of mature fruit trees, shrubs, and colourful flower borders, offering a tranquil backdrop and seasonal interest throughout the year. To the rear left of the garden, the solar panels are discreetly screened by mature hedging, while the LPG Briggs & Stratton generator is neatly enclosed by picket fencing. A useful workshop, formerly a garage and measuring approximately 20'2" x 9'11", is located within the garden and houses the Froling P4 fully automated wood pellet boiler and its associated pellet storage.
