Garden And Grounds
The house is approached through a pair of Iroko hardwood electric gates which open to a recently enlarged gravel driveway (completed 2021) providing extensive vehicle parking and turning space, bordered by a newly built retaining wall with stone steps leading to the lawned gardens. To the side of the house is a delightful courtyard with stunning Limestone terrace, creating a wonderful area to sit on a walled bench bordered by well stocked raised flower beds leading to the rear garden via stone steps.
To the side of this area is an impressive home office/gym, carefully converted from the original garage (2021), now creating a superb space to work with lighting, power, high speed internet and stunning bespoke Iroko heavy barn style doors to front. The office is fully insulated throughout and benefits from an Amtico hardwearing flooring. An external electric car charging point complements this unique space.
The gardens are an outstanding feature of the property and are mainly laid to lawn with well stocked flower beds, shrubs and mature trees including Cherry Blossom, Apple and Fig as well as a Grape Vine. The south facing rear garden is partly boarded by the original kitchen wall to the Old Rectory and a high hedge to the front provides a great deal of privacy to the owners. A newly built Limestone terrace is an ideal area for outdoor entertaining and al-fresco dining. Useful outbuildings provide additional and secure storage facilities.
