OUTSIDE

The property is situated adjacent to Ravens Bank and is shielded by a hedge to the front. A gateway leads to a large gravelled area providing parking space for a number of vehicles and this also leads to the various outbuildings and the garage. A gravel pathway provides access to the front door. There are lawned areas to the front, side and rear of the house with shrubs and a variety of mature trees including plum, greengage, damson and a walnut tree. The rear garden provides a good degree of privacy and overlooks open countryside.

The land is bordered by the road at the front and backs onto open fields to the rear, the boundaries are largely hedged with chain link fencing in part.

The current owners use part of the land for growing vegetables and also for rearing ducks and geese. There is also a young orchard area with various fruit trees. In the agents opinion, the land may well appeal to buyers with a similar usage in mind to that of the owners or to those who keep small animals etc.
