OUTSIDE
Approached from two separate entrances, the original farm entrance, via a right of way to a private paved parking area, sufficient for at least four cars, with bin store, enclosed, with the whole garden surrounded by traditional iron railings securing the garden. The side and front areas are predominantly laid to lawn, with sweeping lavender hedges and interspersed with mature specimen trees and shrubs, from sorbus to sycamore, yew, and a beautiful box with raised canopy. The second driveway, with automated gates, leading to a parking and turning area, with single cart-lodge with air-conditioned gym, and enclosed tool and garden store concealed at the rear. A further area of grass is ideal for the creation of a vegetable garden, currently with strawberry bed and greenhouse. Whilst to the rear of the property is the formal courtyard, cleverly landscaped in to ‘rooms’ with brick paving, extensively fitted sleeper raised beds incorporating seating, with concealed lighting, faux grass, sunbathing areas and al fresco dining area, with granite flagstone paving with flower border, leading to an oak pergola with trailing wisteria.
