The outside space is hugely impressive, beginning with a wrought iron gate that opens from the pavement to a spacious and welcoming front garden. A flagstone pathway, bordered by decorative gravel, divides two manicured lawns and leads directly to the front door, creating an attractive entrance. The front garden offers ample space for outdoor seating and garden pots, enhanced by the convenience of an outdoor power socket. To the rear, the expansive landscaped garden is a true highlight, thoughtfully arranged into four distinct areas.

Wooden sleepers step up to a second area, where a stone pathway bordered by mature shrubs and vibrant flowers (with a manicured lawn to the East) guides you through the garden. The third area, laid to stone chippings, offers raised stone planters, a large wooden storage shed, and additional seating space ideal for soaking up the Southern sunshine. Finally, stone steps lead to a generous lawn bordered by flowers, mature shrubs, and trees, with a patio area that houses a summerhouse and provides a perfect spot for outdoor dining while enjoying beautiful hillside views to the South. This enchanting garden offers endless opportunities for relaxation, entertaining, and appreciating the tranquil rural surroundings.
