Externally, the property is approached via brick-pillared gates opening onto a spacious driveway, which in turn leads to a double garage. The south-facing rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped and enjoys a high degree of privacy, backing directly onto open countryside and making the most of the exceptional outlook.
