Once through the electric gates from the lane, the garden is carefully designed to flow through the many separate yet cohesive areas of interest. The gravelled drive, attractively planted with box and privet, provides parking for several cars and there is a two bay oak framed garage. There is a pathway which leads down through a Wisteria clad pergola to a spectacular oriental influenced garden complete with an impressive array of interesting plants surrounding two ponds. An outside dining deck provides an ideal spot to entertain and take advantage of the discreetly located hot tub. Adjacent to the Games room and pool house is the heated swimming pool, surrounded by sun terrace and to one end is situated the delightful breeze house and separate summer house. There is a level lawn flanked on one side by an exciting assault course/adventure playground. The borders are packed with rich dense planting providing privacy and the views over open farmland to the rear are rewarding leading down to the paddock which has its own vehicular access.
