Tucked away within the established hedgerow, an attractive archway provides a delightful surprise, opening into a separate enclosed vegetable garden. This lovely productive area is ideal for those who enjoy growing their own produce and adds another dimension to these already beautiful grounds.

Beyond the vegetable garden, a gate leads into a substantial additional area of grounds, where an impressive workshop, complete with electricity, provides an exceptionally useful and versatile space. The workshop is complemented by a garden store and covered storage area.

A particularly outstanding feature is that this entire workshop area benefits from its own separate gated entrance and long driveway directly from the road, allowing access completely independently of the main house and its gardens. This is a tremendous advantage and opens up a wealth of possibilities for those requiring workshop facilities, extensive storage, space for hobbies, a collection of vehicles or other interests, without interfering with the privacy and enjoyment of the family home, subject to any necessary consents.

The property also benefits from solar panels, providing an additional practical feature to this already versatile home.

The individual arrangement of the grounds adds to the character of the property, creating a lovely separation between the established gardens surrounding the house and the additional workshop area beyond.
