There are further established trees along the southern boundary with openings allowing superb views across the fields to the south side towards the Lincolnshire Wolds. The approved house designs are described individually in more detail below, but each stands well back from the road approached over a long driveway with ample turning and parking space before giving access to the garages. In total, the four plots extend to approximately 1.66 acres (subject to survey) and each provides the potential to landscape an attractive country garden taking advantage of the mature surroundings.
