OUTSIDE
A choice of driveways takes you to either the front of the house with parking area and large garage/workshop allowing you to unload shopping straight into the house. The second driveway to the side of the house leads to a large area currently used for parking but was in the past a ménage. Adjacent to this is the former stables that will require updating/replacement if they are to be used again for a pony or horse.
The area designated as paddock measures just over 1 acre and is completely level and backs onto open farm land to the rear. The current owners have never used any chemicals or pesticides during the last 13 years.
The private gardens wrap around the house and enjoy complete seclusion and privacy. When the sun shines it can be found it the garden throughout the day. A large south facing patio area adjoins the kitchen/family room making it an ideal barbecue/entertaining area.
A benefit of the current owner’s careful stewardship of the grounds with its pesticide/chemical free environment is the abundance of wildlife to visit including wood peckers, hedgehogs and squirrels that make the most of the fruit from the fig and walnut trees.
