The secluded garden is picture perfect, filled with mature plants and flowers creating a peaceful and picturesque setting for the stone cottage. Enjoy your surroundings on the paved outdoor space, with its rose and honeysuckle arbour, leading to a lawned space that continues around to a private gate to the cricket ground. This idyllic setting is a haven for nature lovers and those who enjoy outdoor living.
The garden store is believed to be an old wash house, complete with chimney, with space within for a fire under what would have been the boiler - all still there. A fascinating and delightful historic point to this wonderful home.
