OUTSIDE
The property is approached off the country lane via a pair of timber 5-bar gates leading on to a gravelled drive providing parking for 3 or 4 cars and leading to the DOUBLE CARPORT 18'1 x 16' with attached WORKSHOP. The gardens are a real delight full of seasonal colour and with a variety of seating areas dotted throughout to allow one to follow the sun or take cover in the shade during different times of the day. To the left of the driveway is an area of garden dominated by a large wildlife pond, surrounded by trees with a Willow lazily drooping in to the water. Adjacent to this is a small woodland glade with pathways and a covered wood store waiting to be stocked ready for the cooler winter's evenings.Leading off the Garden Room is a paved terrace creating a further seating or dining area, with a raised bed containing an abundance of planting. Within this area is a large TIMBER STORE 20' x 17', ideal for the storage of garden equipment and partly divided to create a store for the DIESEL POWERED GENERATOR supplying electricity to the property. From the terrace you are lead on to lawns bordered by mixed hedging and interspersed with mature trees and bushes. Within the lawns is a most attractive timber pergola over a flagstone terrace, with a canopy created by a lovely old vine and forming the most wonderful dining and entertaining area, adding a touch of 'The Med' to an English country garden. Opposite this is a small kitchen garden and then an illuminated ornamental pond. Beyond this screened by hedging is a small arboretum which takes you to the full extent of the plot.
AGENTS NOTE 1
