OUTSIDE

Discreetly accessed from Butts Road up a flight of steps and through an arched wooden gate, the front garden is utterly magical; akin to finding yourself in a fairy tale with meandering, interconnecting, secret pathways and larger-than-life trees including a fabulous fig and fragrant pine! Bustling borders and vibrant flowerbeds entice you to the front door. The paved and gravelled areas provide spaces to sit privately and enjoy everything the garden has to offer. There is also the benefit of a lean-to shed ideal for garden storage. A metal gate to the side of the property leads to the rear garden, whilst a footpath slopes down to the wooden GARDEN ROOM with veranda which affords versatility aplenty, whether used as an office, hobby room or simply somewhere to escape to and enjoy whatever the weather. The garden room is accessed via double-glazed doors, is fully insulated, plasterboarded, painted and carpeted. It also benefits from full wired networking (back to the house) and electrics which would support a multi-person office space. Externally, are a weatherproof double socket, water tap and lighting.

To the rear of the property is a private paved patio perfect for outdoor dining and easily accessed via the substantial bi-fold doors. Ornate metal railings top the retaining wall, while steps rise to the sloping lawn. Wooden fencing with gate gives access to the gravelled driveway which provides off-street parking (accessed via Park Road) and in turn gives access to the DETACHED DOUBLE GARAGE with electric door, power and light connected, double-glazed windows and doors, external weatherproof socket. The garage has electrics suitable for a workshop or even a self-contained annexe (subject to planning permission) and also networking back to the house.
