The Grounds
Set well back from the road the front of this property is extremely secluded with a winding stepped pathway which wraps around the outside of the house and leads to the magnificent rear garden. The views from the garden are quite staggering as the property overlooks Bourne valley.

A gently sloping lawn continues to the workshop area with raised vegetable beds running along one side and beautiful well-stocked beds and borders throughout. Two aluminium and glass greenhouses with rainwater collection point.
