Garden
The front garden is a triangular shape, laid mainly to lawn and screened by a mature hedge from the lane and separated on the other side by a picket fence. Gravel area and pathway to the front entrance. The good size rear garden enjoys a south/easterly aspect and is privately enclosed by a mature hedge and close boarded fencing. Adjoining the rear of the cottage is a paved patio with outside lighting and beyond is an established lawn. Brick pathway and two paved seating areas both of which adjoin raised flower beds and borders. The garden contains an oil storage tank, concrete coal bunker and wooden log store plus large garden shed. We understand the shed occupies the spot where a previous owner had private parking and this is evident by double gates adjoining the lane.
