OUTSIDE
The front pathway is bordered by stone-set railings, lending to the entrance.
Moving to the left-hand side of the property, you'll find a crazy-paved driveway, accommodating approximately two vehicles and leading to the garage/workshop. This pathway continues through the garden, which features a variety of mature trees, including a magnolia, along with shrubs, bushes, and flower borders. The garden is enclosed by hedging. Small steps are interspersed throughout, guiding you down the garden, which also boasts a sunken garden/seating space. A small gate opens onto the woodland and Soudley Brook, where residents can enjoy the presence of trout eels and crayfish. The lawned area extends around to the rear of the property, where you'll find a block-built wood store, an oil tank for the central heating system, a patio/seating space, an outside tap, and the garden ensuite.
From the front garden, the pathway leads to another personal wrought iron gate, bordered by further mature trees and plants, with a pathway leading down to the brook. Here, you'll discover a stone outbuilding. This area lends itself ideally to a vegetable produce area and is enclosed by a stone wall and hedging. At the bottom of the garden, two wooden garden sheds provide additional storage. Additionally, the septic tank is situated within the grounds.
