OUTSIDE SPACE

The property is approached by a private drive servicing just four properties, with allocated parking spaces for two vehicles and access to the studio. The front is bordered by a colourful array of rose bushes.

The rear garden is Southeast facing and captures the sun for much of the day. The garden is entirely laid with Indian sandstone flagstones to create a large terrace with ample seating areas, and includes a raised pond. There is a timber summer house with power, and the garden is fully enclosed by raised timber fencing with gated access at the side leading to the front.

To the front there is an external timber studio (originally built as a carport) which is currently used as a gym but could suit a variety of uses. Large glass sliding doors open to a small space at the back, and another door leads into a large store room. Ladder-stairs from here lead up to a converted and fully insulated loft space ideally suited as a home office (agent's note: there was previously planning permission granted, now lapsed, to extend this space with a dormer).
