There is 2 car parking to the front with wooden gates giving access to a delightful enclosed cottage style garden, very well enclosed and enjoying total privacy. The garden is attractively laid mainly to lawn with lovely specimen trees, including Acers and an ancient pear tree, together with a wide variety of roses, azaleas, daphne and clematis. The smaller rear courtyard garden is again very well enclosed and totally private, laid to original cobbles with well stocked raised flower and shrub borders, again with some lovely specimen plants. Timber steps lead up over the garden room to the balcony. A further area to the side provides gated access onto the banks of the River Lowman.
AGENT'S NOTE
The property suffered slight flooding from the River Lowman in 2012. Since then, a flood defence gate has been installed and the Environment Agency have undertaken frequent dredging works to prevent any recurrence. The vendors do not have any difficulty obtaining insurance, although some online comparison sites initially say they will not quote.
