A manicured lawn wraps around the house, leading the way to a pleasantly landscaped rear garden, where dual patio areas are ideal for outdoor seating and well-stocked beds house an excellent selection of flowering plants and shrubs.
Separated from the rear garden by a charming picket fence, the gated gravel driveway offers parking for several vehicles, accessed via Kings Close, while a detached brick-built garage provides secure parking and storage.
