The property is approached to the front via a pair of 'picket' style gates on to a block paved courtyard, with an outside tap and security lighting.A second gated access leads to the rear of the cottage along an attractive tree lined driveway to the detached TIMBER DOUBLE CARPORT 19'6 x 15' 2 with adjacent WORKSHOP 15'1 x 10' 9 featuring both power and lighting.From here a paved pathway leads to the UTILITY BOOT ROOM. This section of the plot is primarily laid to lawn and contains flower and shrubs beds producing an abundance of seasonal colour. Leading off the dining room is a paved terrace, where one can entertain or relax outside. To the far side of the property is a large covered log store with wooden 'potting' bench. Behind this, tucked away out of sight is the OIL STORAGE TANK and CALOR GAS bottles.Fenced off from the principal garden is the woodland extending to about 3.5 acres. Ideal for the wildlife enthusiast, or as a place for children and pets to run wild! The plot is a rough triangular shape and is bounded by an unclassified lane to two sides and Castle Brook to the remainder, which in itself creates an attractive boundary feature.
AGENTS NOTE
In November 2012 the property suffered 'water ingress' following flash flooding of the lane. Since that time a number of remedial actions have been carried out and the property still remains insured by the NFU. Further detail available from the agent.
