Outside, to the front, a driveway provides off street parking and leads to the double garage. There is gated access to both sides of the property leading to landscaped gardens which wraps around the property. The private back garden is predominantly laid to lawn and benefits from the sun throughout the day thanks to its southerly aspect and enjoys a beautiful rural outlook and currently a visiting barn owl.
