The Grounds
The Property occupies a fantastic position on an established and historic lane with a great degree of kerb appeal. Exuding character and charm from its natural stone façade, the lovely Cottage has a neat frontage incorporating a block paved and gravelled driveway providing off road parking for two to three vehicles. Additionally, there is a log store, an outside tap, and an outside electrical power socket, as well as a low-level stone wall forming part of the boundary and an array of deep well-stocked planted borders.

The South facing walled Garden truly is a gardener’s paradise, larger than you would expect and beautifully landscaped having been a labour of love for the current owners. By the Property there is a stone paved patio that extends to side access and to the gravelled entertaining area with covering timber pergola and mature grape vine. The Pergola flanks the main lawn which is enclosed by manicured topiary and other mature plantings and a path flows from the lawn through trained Lime trees forming a glorious boundary when in full leaf. As you continue down the Garden there are formal planted beds with manicured box hedges, gravelled walkways, deep well stocked planted beds and a lovely Victorian formal garden feel. Extending to the side there are box hedges enclosing an array of perfectly maintained veg beds, orchard area with Cherry trees, Apple trees, Plum trees, Strawberries and other mature and established perennial plants. At the rear of the Garden there is a stone built outbuilding currently used as a potting shed/workshop, but would be ideal for conversion into a Garden Room, a paved seating area ideal for entertaining in the afternoon sun and a further gravelled area with a most impressive Damson Tree.
