Outside, the front gardens provide two driveways offering parking facilities for many vehicles, one of which leads to a stone built garage boasting excellent ceiling heights and offers great potential to be converted into a garden studio/annex. The attractive and mature southerly facing rear and side gardens are well stocked with soft fruit trees and bushes, including espalier fruit trees, productive vegetable patch, greenhouse and provide delightful, private and well screened seating areas, combined with a gate providing direct access onto the green.
