Summary

This exceptional home is not one for you to pass on if space is the driving force to your house move. This property has been very well thought out and designed in a way that it shall leave your family wanting for nothing as it already offers what you need and provides space in it's abundance.

Rear Garden: The rear of this property is really quite special and offers the potential to have a garden that caters for the whole family. Split over three different levels each tier could serve it's own purpose:

The Upper Tier: Currently is used as the main patio area and has been finished with a low maintenance concrete print design with a slabbed print in Sandstone and edged with wooden sleepers. The patio provides access into the main residence via the patio doors into the kitchen and the side path leads you to the front driveway via the side gate. There is security lighting, an outside water tap and steps that lead down to the middle tier alongside a featured rockery.
The Middle Tier: Offering a large centerpiece lawn this section of the rear garden is where you would expect the children to have their playset and outdoor slide, however the area is so generous in size that any climbing frames would most definitely not swallow up the garden. You can still expect there would still be space for you to pull out a sunbed on a warm summers day. Surrounding the lawn to the borders is a flowerbed that offers a huge variety of plants, shrubs, bushes/hedges and young conifers.
The Lower Tier: This section of the garden is relatively low maintenance and is again accessed via another set f shallow steps that lead down from the lawn of the middle tier. This being the lowest section of the rear garden the existing owners have installed a good sized wooden shed with a further raised slabbed patio area that could be used as another patio or even take a second shed should you decide you required one. There is also a further rockery with more varieties of plant life, however this space could easily be levelled off, and as other neighboring properties have, you could install/build an outside office space or an annexe quite comfortably.
