The garden, which extends to around one acre is a particular feature of this property, with large lawn to the front of the house, combined with patios and attractive borders. To the rear lie additional areas to sit out and enjoy the summer sunshine which also provides an exceptional outside entertaining space. There are a number of fruit trees, and specimen trees across the property and there is also a large vegetable garden which is well stocked with a variety of produce, a chicken run, and a selection of outbuildings including a greenhouse.
