There is space for a freestanding fridge freezer and dishwasher and a patio door leads out to the side return.
The garden is a great size, almost as long as it is wide and has been beautifully landscaped. The raised decked seating area closest to the house provides a fantastic space for entertaining guests or al fresco dining, it also works great for small children so they cant escape from sight. The lower area of garden is a large lawn bordered by mature plants, shrubs and an array of fruit trees. At the far end of the garden is a good size shed for gardening equipment and a large studio garden room that is hard wired for electricity making this a versatile additional space. The current vendors are using it as a gym but it could quite easily be a office, summer house or kids play area.
A pathway leads from the back of the garden to the side return where there is an external cupboard housing the boiler and there is also access directly to the garage. The vendors have plans drawn up to convert the garage into a habitable space such as an office or play room for the kids. The new room will be accessible from the entrance hall of the house.
