Parking and Gardens
The cottage is approached from the road via double timber gates that open onto a large gravelled drive with plenty of space for cars, caravan, motor homes or boat. There is also a good sized timber workshop (6.10m x 9.14m - 20' x 30') with tall double doors, windows to the side and rear and fitted with benches and cupboards. There is potential for an electric supply. A small peripheral corner of the drive is leased from the Pitt Rivers Estate for £125 per annum – this lies to the left hand side of the workshop. A five bar timber gate opens to the main garden, which lies to the back of the cottage. This is mostly laid to grass and planted with trees and shrubs and backs onto farmland. Steps lead down to a paved seating area beneath a pergola where there is also an ornamental pond. From here steps rise to the side garden, which is reminiscent of a garden of tranquillity - laid to gravel with a central wildlife pond and two seating areas. There is also a useful timber shed. A gate opens to a path that runs along the front of the cottage. The whole grounds extend to around a quarter of an acre and boast excellent privacy and sun throughout the day in various parts of the garden.
