Gardens and Grounds The property is approached via a private driveway, providing off street parking for several vehicles. There is additional parking to the front of the house and a integrated garage with power and lighting.

The gardens are a particular feature of The Beeches and have been carefully landscaped to provide both beauty and functionality. A neatly manicured lawn offers space for relaxation and recreation, centred around a striking mature Hornbeam tree to the northern side of the property. Well established borders frame the garden with a variety of flowers and shrubs, while terraced levels add depth and interest to the landscape, creating a series of attractive vantage points.
