Outside
The Property occupies a prominent position on the road with an open aspect over Eastfield Park to the front elevation. Set back from the road, there is a hard standing driveway that flows through iron gates to the private driveway and enclosed front Garden. With a stone wall to the front, the neat frontage has been designed with low maintenance in mind with two iron pedestrian gates and a paved path leading to the original front door. A glass and timber awning leads to a Minton tiled porch and the front door, giving a time-honoured sense of character on entering. There is an array of planted sections to the frontage, filled with mature plants and there are secure timber gates either side providing access to both sides of the property. In addition to this the driveway allows for off-road parking and access into the detached single garage through the newly fitted hardwood double doors.
The delightful rear Garden offers a gorgeous mature setting and is larger than you would expect. A small patio with iron railings from the Kitchen with steps and a handrail, flow down to the main paved patio that provides an ideal entertaining space. A further step leads down to the level lawn with crazy-paved patio ideally located to catch the sun. Deep well-stocked planted borders surround the lawn, with an array of established trees, bushes, shrubs, plants and bulbs. Mature fruit trees produce Pears, cooking Apples, eating Apples and red and yellow Plums. There are also two well established Magnolias and a Lilac. In addition to this, down the side of the property there are two timber sheds, a glass greenhouse and a path that flows to the side pedestrian door into the Garage.
