      OUTSIDE
      The property is in a slightly elevated position with three steps leading through a pillared entrance to the front garden, which is mostly laid to lawn with mature trees, shrubs and a path leading to the front door. There is side access leading to the rear garden that has been beautifully landscaped with established flower beds, mature specimen trees and a wonderful terrace. There is an expanse of open and flat manicured lawns leading to a charming summer house or garden studio. Due to the maturity and well-designed planting, the gardens feels extremely private and offer a stunning outlook from the terrace which enjoys the afternoon and evening sun due to its westerly aspect.
