OUTSIDE
The property is approached off the lane via a timber 5-bar gate, the driveway then winds around the property to the parking area and garage. A separate pedestrian front gate leads through to the front door, along a gravel pathway which runs under a series of iron work arches, covered in honeysuckle and climbing rose creating the most appealing entrance. The delightful gardens here are very much in a cottage style, providing a riot of colour within the various beds, which intermingle with shaped lawns, clipped box hedging, bushes and gravel paths bordered by feature stone walls incorporating a small open fronted store and stone steps to rear.. Running across the front section of the house is a wonderful old Wisteria. The main area of formal garden has a parkland style feel and really is simply stunning. Expanses of well tended lawns are split by a meandering brook which are linked by timber 'bridges'. The shaped lawns are bordered by deep beds, well stocked with a plethora of flowers and shrubs creating an abundance of seasonal colour, while the lawns are interspersed with a large variety of specimen trees. A timber 'love seat' covered in honeysuckle is a lovely place from where to enjoy the view of the house across the gardens with a wooded backdrop.
AGENTS NOTE
A public footpath runs along the boundary hedge of the paddock which could easily be fenced off if so desired
Following through the formal gardens you reach a small shady copse planted with spring bulbs. You will also find here a composting area and hard standing 26' x 26' (7.9M x 7.9M) suitable for storage shed. Beyond the parking area a timber arch set between a trellis screen takes you through to a large level lawn, which at one time one could imagine was used as a tennis court or croquet lawn, however it is now a perfect place for children to play.. The remainder of the ground has been fenced off as paddocks and has a separate gated road side access. The whole plot amounts to about 5 acres. GARAGE/WORKSHOP.
