OUTSIDE AND PARKING

The property is located within a particularly private and established part of this sought-after development, set well back from the road. The front garden is laid mainly to lawn with various mature shrubs set to borders, and a gated side access leads to the rear garden. Impeccably maintained and very well designed, this garden comprises a wonderfully private Indian sandstone paved patio area and pergola with climbing plants, mature planting to the borders and a set patio with pretty pond.

The rear courtyard area is shared by two neighbouring properties and provides access to the double garage at the rear with two up-and-over doors, one being electric. The double garage is large enough for two vehicles to be securely parked, with over-head boarded loft space and electric points. A blocked paved driveway provides two further parking spaces.
