Front, side and rear garden
Wonderful Ruabon brick front boundary wall with archway and wrought iron gate opening from the road into the garden, a gravel path and steps rising either side to the lawn area with paths to all sides leading to the front door. To the side of the front door is a second gate to another lawned garden with mature shrubs to the edges and a further gate to the rear parking area and driveway. The current owners have informed Monopoly (who haven't seen the deeds) that the driveway which runs behind this and 2 other properties and leads to one other beyond this one is owned by this property with access rights for the others. To the rear there is a large lawned garden approached via steps from the parking area with mature trees and shrubs.
Parking and outhouse
Immediately to the rear of the house there is a large parking area with space for numerous vehicles. There is also a very old brick building that now looks like a garage but was apparently a laundry many years ago, attached to this there is an old car port. Both of these need work to the roof and offer huge potential for change and adaptation subject to any necessary permissions.
