Outside

A gravelled driveway to the front of the home provides off-road parking for several cars, with evergreen hedging creating privacy and a divide to the neighbouring property. Paviours and a pathway adjoin the cottage and mark the attractive entrance porch with beautiful timber door. At the rear, a paved york stone terrace offers space for outdoor dining and relaxation whilst enjoying the sunny aspect, with an expanse of lawn beyond interspersed by specimen fruit trees, a timber play house, swings and a good sized shed. A pebbled seating space part way along the length of the garden provides another spot to take in the sun, and timber-edged beds offer the option to cultivate vegetables. Natural boundaries of hedging provide a sense of enclosure in this large outdoor haven.
