Situated within the centre of Tithe Barn Lane which takes its name from historical Church taxation, the grounds of this wonderful home are well enclosed and lie to both the front and rear of the property. There is an extensive forecourt which provides parking for several vehicles and is enclosed by a variety of mature trees, ornamental shrubs and plants.

The gardens to both the front and rear of the property have been lovingly attended spanning some many years, were completely re-landscaped in 2023 and now provide exceptional family gardens which are rivalled by few.
