Gardens Front and Parking The property presents an attractive traditional stone frontage to Main Road, with dressed stone window surrounds and a low stone boundary wall. A driveway runs alongside the house and continues into a generous rear courtyard, providing extensive off-road parking and direct access to the garage. The driveway also gives practical access to the conservatory, storage room, garden and outbuildings.

Rear Garden Immediately behind the house and garage is a broad courtyard with plenty of space for parking, working or outdoor seating. Traditional stone retaining walls and stone steps lead into the lower garden, where a lawn is surrounded by mature ferns, flowering shrubs, established hedging and ornamental planting. A mature Japanese maple provides colour and forms a particularly attractive feature, while a timber swing frame stands within the lawn. Stone and gravel pathways wind through the planting and continue towards a paved patio beside the workshop. This sheltered area is bordered by dense greenery and offers space for outdoor seating or potting.

Rear Garden Beyond the lower garden is a much larger main lawn, bordered by established beds containing mature shrubs, herbaceous planting and small trees. The lawn is enclosed by traditional stone walls, with mature trees and woodland planting around the outer boundaries creating a peaceful, well-screened setting. The garden also includes greenhouse structures and areas suitable for growing fruit, vegetables and flowers. The combination of lawn, established planting, patios, pathways and productive garden space makes the grounds particularly versatile, with ample room for entertaining, gardening, children’s play or further landscaping.
