The property is approached via electric wooden gates and a cattle grid, which lead to a sweeping driveway, providing access to a generous parking area. From here, access is provided to the double garage which benefits from power and lighting and is fitted with electric doors.
The gardens and grounds are truly delightful, they wrap around the entire property and have been designed by the current vendor to bloom throughout the year.
