The property is accessed from the road via a gravel driveway leading to a large parking area offering off road parking for multiple vehicles and a recently built oak frame garage with attached workshop to the side. The main area of garden lies directly behind the property and is predominantly laid to level of lawn and surrounded by planted borders. To the far side of the plot is an attractive and recently constructed oak frame pergola sitting area which forms a lovely focal point and offers an ideal space for family recreation and outdoor dining. Adjoining the pergola area is an additional workshop offering options for a number of uses. This area then extends down the far side of the property to an organic section of the garden, which is mostly paved, with a number of raised plant beds. This then wraps back round to the front of the cottage.
