Outside, a large driveway provides parking for numerous vehicles. There is a front enclosed lawn with established shrubs and mature trees that run through to an even larger rear garden packed with seasonal plants and colourful fruit trees and shrubs. The garden enjoys an excellent amount of privacy and is a notable feature of this house with some summer photos included to demonstrate how colourful it becomes in the summer months.
