A block paved pathway runs through the front garden to the entrance door. The current owners park on the cul de sac directly in front of the house but there is potential to convert the front garden into a formal driveway which could then accommodate 2 vehicles.

The delightful back garden is fully enclosed and features well stocked beds filled with a variety of flowering shrubs and plants with mature hedging providing privacy. To the immediate rear of the house is a beautiful slate patio providing an ideal spot for al fresco entertaining with a sand pit and cosy built-in seating area ideal for small children.
