Garden The gardens are a substantial feature of the property, wrapping around the bungalow and giving it a broad frontage to the corner. A block paved driveway provides off road parking with access to the main entrance.
Areas of lawn are interspersed with mature shrubs, established trees and planted borders. Stone pathways and paved areas link the different parts of the garden while low boundary walls frame the frontage. The planting provides an established setting with plenty of opportunity to restore and reshape the gardens to suit a new owner.
The rear garden includes further lawn and paving together with a separate glazed garden structure. The higher sections of the grounds enjoy a pleasant outlook across the surrounding area and offer an appealing position for a seating space. As with the bungalow itself, the outside areas provide plenty of scope for improvement, whether creating space for entertaining, growing plants or simply enjoying the garden.
