Gardens and outbuildings
Low maintenance, the gardens have been beautifully landscaped and are bursting with colour. To the front of the house, a wide stone chipped path leads through a clematis-covered arbour to the front door, with roses, geraniums, heathers, holly and a variety of other plants providing a lovely framing for this white cottage. A wooden gate leads to the enclosed rear garden, which is primarily laid to lawn with lovely, secluded spots for sitting out. A wooden shed provides storage, and the logs for the stove can be kept in the separate woodshed. A substantial workshop, used by a previous owner to run a business from, has electricity and light and can be used for a variety of purposes. The garden is blessed with a profusion of visiting birds, singing as they go about their business.
