EXTERNALLY

The property is set up above the road and approached via a set of steps. This leads to the side of the property and from here, a path leads to the front porch. The area to the front is planted with mature shrubs and bushes and slopes steeply to the road.

At the foot of the steps is an area of off-road parking.

The main garden, which is south facing & has a fertile loamy soil, is set behind and up from the bungalow and rises in a series of terraces to open land beyond. From the garden, there are wonderful views across the top of the bungalow over the woods to open land beyond. The garden includes a SHED, 8’ x 6’, on a concrete foundation with potential for erection of a second shed on the same base. To one side of the garden runs a privately owned bluebell wood.

The garden offers enormous potential and a blank canvas for anyone wishing to take on such a project. It has not been cultivated fro some years, but the current vendors have started to clear it. There is plenty of room to grow fruit and veg., room for a greenhouse or poly-tunnel and room to run chickens or ducks if desired.
