The mature gardens and grounds are a particular feature of this property. In total, we believe the gardens offer approximately 1/3 of an acre of lawns, well stocked with a variety of mature trees shrubs and bushes. Several fruit trees.
To the front the property is approached via a shared pathway leading to the entrance door. The front garden is laid to level lawn with natural banking to one side. The main part of the garden lies to the side of the cottage. This area of garden can be accessed via a separate pathway or from the rear of the property. The garden is planted with a wide variety of mature trees and shrubs and enjoys a high degree of privacy whilst benefiting from lovely open views across surrounding countryside. This part of the garden is enclosed by mature hedgerows and trees. The garden extends to the rear of the cottage with BRICK BUILT GARDEN STORE and pathway to rear door. The garden continues into a further area of lawn with large soft fruit/vegetable garden. This area is also enclosed by mature hedgerows and trees and enjoys the countryside views.
