Outside

Oaklands is set well back and is approached through a main gated secure access onto a shared driveway which in turn leads to a private driveway to the front of the property, where there is parking for several cars in front of the double garage. The garage, which is detached, has two electrically operated roller doors, power and lighting, and a charging Point for an electric vehicle. The paddock which sits to the front of the property, provides a good amount of screening from the road and could be the perfect place for wild life and pollinators to thrive.

Outside Contd.

The rest of the garden which is level and benefits from the sun all day, surrounds the house on three sides, and is unusually large for any property this close to town. At present, it has been laid to lawn with a paved patio, but there is huge potential for landscaping and it would certainly accommodate a swimming pool, tennis / pickle ball court or other outbuildings if desired, subject of course to any necessary consents. A gate at the bottom of the garden leads through to what was the old railway line and this property also has access to ancient woodland to the rear. Nb: We understand that the four properties on the development jointly own and have access to these shared areas, further details of which can be obtained from our office.
