Enjoying a southerly aspect, the mature and secluded rear garden is arranged over two levels. Two sets of steps lead from the patio area, directly to the rear of the house, down to the formal garden which is mainly laid to lawn and well-planted with a variety of plants, shrubs and trees, and includes an ornamental pond and timber summer house. It is felt that there may be scope to build a garage within the rear garden, subject to the necessary consents, as it can be accessed from Chesterton Hall Crescent.
Agent's note: Although the proposed extension plans have been drawn-up by an architect, they have not been submitted to the planning department therefore no planning consent is currently in place.
