The rear garden is a tranquil space, enclosed by established trees and plants, offering privacy. A path leads to the first of 2 decked terraces, this one with ample space for garden furniture and adjoining wood/log store. Access to underhouse storage. The second decked terrace is covered, providing an ideal spot for a hot tub or entertaining with an adjacent border featuring several banana plants. A central and level lawn continues to the end of the garden where there is a gravelled area large enough for a garden sofa, sheltered on one side by an attractive laurel hedge, and as we understand from the current Vendor, enjoys the last of the evening sun. A stone built wall runs the length of the garden and borders the path which leads to a gated access to the service lane. Water tap. Outside lights.
VENDORS NOTE ON PARKING – Currently there is an informal arrangement between the neighbours of the cul-de-sac, to honour 2 parking spaces for the property.

Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
