Glorious Gardens…
The rear garden is mainly lawned, surrounded by hedging, creating a tranquil, private space. The patio is the best place to benefit from the sun long into the evening, and there is always somewhere to sit that is in the sun or find shade if you need to. The driveway to the side of the property provides safe, secure parking behind the electric gates that are shared with one property next door. There is a double garage with a boarded loft above and a pull-down ladder, meaning there is always enough storage space.
