Rear Garden Benefits from a west aspect and a good degree of privacy and is laid out in three sections, the first adjacent to the rear of the property is predominately laid to lawn with a wood store, workshop and further store, a pathway leads to a walled sunken patio area with well established shrub and hedge borders, a further large garden store and greenhouse most likely dating back to use during the nursery period.
The final area of garden is laid to lawn with an adjacent fruit and vegetable area and timber garden shed.
To the north side of the property is a large area of hard standing providing off road parking for several vehicles with gated access to Half Moon Lane.
