The garden is accessed either through the bi fold doors from the kitchen or the French doors from the laundry room, or there is side access from the driveway. Perfect south west facing.
What a delight for all the family to enjoy and great social space. The garden feels private and calm. It slopes gently away from the house and is laid out over two distinct levels.
A paved sun terrace sits directly off both the bi fold and French doors. It serves as an outdoor room with plenty of space for garden furniture to enjoy dining, socialising and quiet mornings, linking the house to the garden and extending the living space. To the side a raised ornamental pond provides a perfect backdrop.
The terrace steps down to the upper lawn, a summer house set slightly apart to give a sheltered spot for reading or a snug hideaway on cooler days. This level is bordered by mature hedging and planted beds. Herbaceous borders and evergreen shrubs add colour through the seasons.
A paved path runs across the garden and divides the upper and lower lawns, creating neat, usable outdoor rooms.
The lower lawn provides a broad, level space for play and recreation, with a shed at the bottom. The garden is surrounded by established hedging and mature planting, giving a strong sense of enclosure and privacy. There is generous scope for vegetable beds, container planting, or a small greenhouse without intruding on the main lawn areas.
Overall the garden reads as a family-friendly outdoor space with clear zones for entertaining, play, and quieter retreat.
To the front, a block paved driveway provides parking for three to four vehicles, wrought iron gates create a secure area with further parking and lead to a larger than average detached single garage with an up and over door, side window, boarded loft space for storage, and power and light.
This home offers space flexibility and character in equal measures, it is ideal for a growing family, with generous living areas and five versatile bedrooms, and a large secure garden. The combination of period charm and modern finishes make this a comfortable and attractive home in a desirable setting.
