The house is set well back from the quiet road with a gated stone path leading to the front door. Additionally, there is a driveway with parking for a couple of cars leading to the spacious single garage. There is an easily maintained but colourful garden to the front with a wonderful mature tree adding colour and privacy. The garden to the rear is particularly colourful with a wide variety of mature plants, shrubs and trees in the beds surrounding the generous central lawn. The trees to the rear of the garden enhance the privacy of the garden, making it a wonderfully tranquil and private space.
