The Old Church House sits comfortably within its plot. To the front of the property is a smart in-and-out driveway, which is block paved and bordered with mature hedging and plants. The driveway can accommodate a number of vehicles and conveniently extends to the side of the property, opening up with a turning circle in front of the large and imposing double garage. The driveway opens into a lowered terrace area, accessed via the main drawing room, which is surrounded by pretty plants and shrubs, with steps to the main gardens which are predominantly laid to lawn, and also with beautiful flower beds filled with roses.
