Outside
Solomon’s Garden can be approached from the road both by a pedestrian gate with a pathway leading to the front door, and also via a vehicular access with parking for a number of cars, culminating in the garaging 20’6 x 11’1 with single garage to the side.
The larger garage has plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer, together with useful wine cupboard and a ladder giving access to loft storage space. Behind the garage is an excellent garden machinery/implement store of timber construction beneath a pitch tiled roof.
The gardens and grounds form a delightful feature of the property, enjoying great privacy, with a broad spacious west-facing terrace to the rear with steps leading to areas of lawn bordered by box hedging and topiary and dwarf brick walls.
Further steps lead to the heated swimming pool with an electronic cover, inset into a brick and paved terrace. In this area is a timber outbuilding which houses the pool plant equipment and heat exchanger.
The gardens are principally laid to lawn with herbaceous borders and mature trees and shrubs including some wonderful acers, silver birches and mature oak trees.
Discreetly tucked away is a good sized garden gazebo with a paved terrace in front, ideal for outside dining and entertaining, all overlooking the pond with lilies and irises.
To the south of the gardens is an area of light woodland, extending to about 0.9 of an acre, with two separate accesses from the road, some mature trees, dilapidated chicken run and pond.
In all about 2 acres.
