The garden has been designed and worked on over many years by the present owners offering areas of peace and quiet and entertaining space. Directly to the rear of the property is a landscaped entertaining terrace, laid to paving with brick edge pathways, insert lawns and mature planting. There is a Mediterranean style covered dining space sitting next to a beautiful pebble and slate water feature. The garden itself is laid mainly to lawn with mature trees and shrubs. There are various themed seating areas and hidden pathways. There is a summer house positioned in a sunny corner, a timber construction under a timber shingle roof. To the side of the property there is a shared driveway, part of the curtilage of The Parsons Cottage which enjoys well stocked borders leading up to:

Three Bay Garage/Lock Up

Agents Note

The owners are currently sorting planning permission on a parcel of land to the right hand side, away from the property. Plans are available for inspection and other than the drive becoming shared, this will have no other effect on The Parsons Cottage.
