External Gated access leads from the roadside to a gravelled area directly in front of the property, enclosed by an attractive stone wall. There are well stocked flowering beds and borders which provide an array of seasonal colour. Steps lead up to an elevated area of garden which has been cleared and is ready for landscaping where there is a useful storage shed and potting shed. An opening in the wall gives pedestrian access to the large level parking area, with sufficient space for several vehicles. There is separate gated access from the road which leads to a smallholding area where there is a useful block built store beyond which a second gate allows easy vehicular access to the land and pasture.

The land which adjoins the property is a particularly attractive feature and could have a variety of uses to those wanting to keep animals. The current owners have created an extensive vegetable garden enclosed by young willow trees with productive raised beds and they have also obtained Planning Permission for a poly tunnel to extend the growing season. They have planted numerous fruit trees including plum, pear, cherry, eating apples and cider apples. They have left part of the land as a wildflower meadow whilst the grass around the house is kept short. However, the land could be equally suitable for keeping ponies.
 

Overage Please note there is an overage covenant on the land to protect from future development. Please contact us for further information.
