Surrounded by a wonderful garden, this home also offers an exceptional opportunity for those with green fingers. On a fantastic plot and mostly laid to lawn, the gardens boast a variety of mature trees, and an abundance of flower beds, shrubs and hedges. There are paved areas too providing a fantastic place to socialise and entertain in the summer sun. Enclosed and peaceful, it is a wonderful opportunity to create your own private oasis.
