Deceptively large family house with cottage and extensive garden
59 Hepburn Gardens is a deceptively large semi-detached house dating from the 1930s. It is built of white harled brick under a slate roof.
The traditional rooms to the front of the house have been complemented by the kitchen and lounge on the garden side with roof lights and large windows giving excellent natural light. French doors open into the garden which extends to fully 0.35 acres and stretches back half way down the length of neighbouring Middleshade Road.
The house has been extensively upgraded and extended in the past 15 years and offers excellent family accommodation. A separate cottage was created by extending the former garage and has potential as further family or carer accommodation. A new garage was built in the driveway, adjoining the main house.

Back Garden:
Behind the house is a long back garden which is arranged in a series of different sections.
There is a paved terrace outside the kitchen with a wooden screen fence dividing this area off from the Cottage. A large lawn is surrounded by shrubs, mature trees and flowerbeds and two wooden garden sheds and a log store.
An arched pergola through a high hedge leads to the next compartment which is an orchard and kitchen garden with a greenhouse. There are six different fruit tree varieties and an abundance of berry fruits including marionberries. There are also vegetable patches.
At the north end of a marvellously private garden there are composting bins, a further wooden store and wood seasoning stores.
