The garden then leads onto a lawn bordered by well-stocked beds planted with a variety of trees, shrubs, and plants, carefully chosen to provide colour and interest throughout the seasons.

In addition, the owners have planted eight trees around the perimeter, including Himalayan Birch, Poplar, Maple, Ash, and Rowan, which provide excellent screening from the surrounding houses during the summer months. There are also raised beds, decking areas, a pathway leading to gated access to the driveway and garage, and a small wildlife pond, adding both charm and interest for nature enthusiasts.

The property also benefits from private parking for two vehicles and a single garage, providing useful storage or additional parking if required.

Overall, the garden offers a wonderful outdoor space that is perfect for both relaxation and entertaining.
