Garden room/Office at the end of the garden with power and light laid on. Gardens Betwixt the two drive entrances is a raised stonewall bed whilst the majority of the garden is accessed from within the house or down the side via a resin path in similar colour to the drive. This leads to a large paved terrace that runs adjacent to the sitting room and kitchen and, being southerly facing, is a great location to while away the day during the heat of the summer. The lawn stretches out down the garden where it meets part of the garden that we understand was formerly part of the Beaford Arts Centre in years gone by. It follows a lovely mosaic form with cobbled paths and privet hedging and red dogwood. Beyond this is a large raised composite decking with inset led edge lighting and glass balustrades which allows you to sit and enjoy the view, uninterrupted, back down the garden to the house save for some of the planting. The garden has some lovely plants and shrubs within giving form and structure. Agents note A neighbours house has access across the drive (in part) for filling up of their oil tank and also a small area to enable decorating of one of the walls of their garage.
