To the West side of the property are double wooden gates leading to a brick paved parking area for several cars. To the East is a GARAGE with wooden doors, presently used for storage, there is a pedestrian door to the rear of this building which leads to the side courtyard which is also accessed via a stable door from the kitchen. There is a door from the courtyard accessing one part of the outbuildings providing a large store room with space for tumble dryer, chest freezer, tools etc. and is where the oil tank is also housed.
The garden enjoys many elements within its’ 1 acre plot -and is certainly ideal for a family with the ‘Good Life’ intentions. A spacious brick paved patio area for outside entertaining has stone steps leading to a cluster of charming stone and tiled outbuildings, there is a useful stone stable room, a further room currently used for a log store, a large workshop with light and power, and a children’s mezzanine play house. In our view these outbuilding have great further potential. More stone steps lead to a lawned play area leading to a productive vegetable garden and two greenhouses. There is a further large lawned area leading down the garden to a separate orchard area with a variety of apple and fruit trees. This area also includes space dedicated to chickens and lastly two fenced enclosures which in the past have been have been used to keep geese and pigs and that currently house two sheep.
