doors and original forged ironmongery to the metal

THE FIRST FLOOR

THE GARDENS

The beautiful gardens are of particular note and surround this lovely

home. Traditional in style with a large sweeping lawn to the rear and a

variety of mature trees including fruit trees and shrubs. High mixed

hedging to each side affords privacy.

A paved terrace adjacent to the house is the ideal spot for entertaining

outdoors or simply enjoying the outside space. To the far end of the

garden, the reed bed is evidence of the original moat which historically

surrounded this and other properties.

The lawns continue to the front garden which has an abundance of

mature planting, including a delightful rose and wisteria around the front

door. Lavender to the borders completes this quintessential English

country garden.

Hedging and metal gates delineate the front boundary. A single attached

garage with traditional wooden barn style doors and workshop area can

be found at the end of the driveway.
