A notable feature of the property are the beautiful mature gardens to the front and rear, with well-stocked flower beds and an exceptional selection of specimen trees providing a fabulous array of colour throughout the seasons, offering a green and private space, a unique feature for this location.
There is off street parking with a detached garage block, comprising two separate bays.
