The property is approached from the front via an impressive in-and-out driveway, framed by double sets of gates mounted on substantial brick pillars. The expansive brick-paved drive provides generous parking and turning space. Positioned centrally between the two gated entrances is a detached brick and tile former Cherry House, currently functioning as a workshop. Equipped with both power and lighting, this versatile space lends itself to a wide range of alternative uses. A detached double garage is also situated on the grounds, featuring a remotely operated roller door, internal power supply, a fitted WC, and a storage loft above.

Adjacent to the main entrance, a paved terrace area wraps around the side of the house and connects seamlessly with a timber-decked seating area. The front garden is attractively landscaped, showcasing a series of well-stocked planting beds, defined by gravel pathways and timber edging, all arranged with a strong sense of symmetry and visual appeal. Adding character and functionality to the garden is a traditional canopied well, securely covered for safety but fully operational, offering a sustainable and economical method of garden irrigation. The rear lawn extends beyond, flanked by mature planting beds that further enhance the garden’s established feel. The rear garden is richly planted with rustic-edged herbaceous borders, and includes an aluminium-framed greenhouse as well as dedicated fruit and vegetable growing areas. The grounds are enclosed by traditional Devon banks topped with hedging or fencing, offering both privacy and a natural boundary. In total, the property sits within a well-tended plot extending to over one-third of an acre.
