The large expanse of lawn is bisected by a meandering path to the front door, and the ornamental pond has newts in it, so fun for inquisitive children! A tarmac drive holds multiple vehicles before a single garage. Brick walls with arched doorways divide the plot, keeping the rear garden private and secure.

  • Rear Garden

    The rear garden is a riot of colour and the scent from the lilac trees is intoxicating. A generous patio sits adjacent to the house, then step up to a lawn large enough for a game of cricket and marvel at the delicious planting. Crenellated panelled fencing adds a touch of interest and a gravelled garden to one side winds beneath the trees. Tucked in the corner is a large workshop split into two cavities offering all the storage any gardener could possibly need.
