As well as the internal space the property occupies an attractive landscaped, established, plot set back behind a walled frontage with a central pathway bordered by lawned gardens, well stocked perimeter borders with a range of well maintained trees and shrubs, a useful lean to greenhouse and brick built potting shed. To the rear of the property is an enclosed courtyard garden which is landscaped for relatively low maintenance living, enclosed in the main by brick walls, having soft fruit cages and inset borders. The hard standing area provides potential additional off road car standing accessed off Moor Lane at the rear, having covered car port and adjacent workshops which provide excellent storage space or, subject to consent, possible use as an outside office, games room or gym.
