OUTSIDE
One of the principal features of the property are the extensive grounds, with a total plot size approaching 0.2 acres with triple tiered gardens. The lower level of the garden is bound by a high, stone built wall, with log store and a stretch of lawn which neighbours the off street, gated parking area. Steps lead from the parking area up to a generous flagstone patio, allowing for a very pleasant recreational and dining area. Further steps lead on to two stone outbuildings and up to the main area of garden which is predominantly laid to lawn descending down to the final tier of lawned garden area. The upper part of the garden provides an elevated patio seating area taking full advantage of the superb views on offer.

One of the best features of the house are the gardens, they are extensive, yet low maintenance and afford superb views.
