GARDEN a key feature of the property and defining the potential the house holds for extension and improvement. In total over 200ft in depth front to back and at points up to 37ft wide (sts), the garden is approached over the driveway from the front of the property which continues to the side and approaches the myriad of outbuildings to the rear all of which are in a poor state of repair but highlight the space and scope. From the rear of the property the garden is largely laid to informal lawn and heavily interspersed with mature apple and other fruit trees. Boundaries are a mixture of fence and chain link and are in no way secure. The garden has huge potential much like the house itself.

Grier & Partners endeavour to maintain accurate depictions of properties in Virtual Tours, Floor Plans and descriptions, however, these are intended only as a guide and purchasers must satisfy themselves by personal inspection.
