Outside & parking

A driveway lies in front of an attached, larger-than-average sized garage which currently acts as a great storage space. Further uncontested but unofficial parking is situated to the right of the property, with other on-street parking available for guests outside.

The garden boasts a pleasant, sunny aspect, with the back of the home enjoying the morning sun from an east facing aspect, while the unblocked side aspect to the garden faces south, allowing the garden to be filled with light all day and creating a lovely warm and bright space during the warmer months. A patio adjoins the back of the home itself, while a footpath leads round the side from the driveway. The garden is otherwise laid to lawn with a variety of small, established shrubs and flowers, all bordered with fencing at two sides and a brick wall boundary at the other. A door into the back of the garage is useful, while from the house, the garden is found via double doors from the dining area.
