Outside

To the front of the property is a shingle driveway and parking area, suitable for at least five cars and with a hedged surround.  This leads to the side pathway, main entrance door and double wooden gates.  These lead to the rear patio and pitched roof double garage with two up and over doors.  Served by water and electricity, this is a great storage or potential workshop area, with additional storage in the roof space.

The back garden measures approximately 375 feet in length, making the whole plot 0.4 acres, with wood panel fencing and hedge boundaries.  The current owners have nurtured this as a rich organic wildlife environment, teeming with life, with many mature trees and shrubs.

The patio leads onto a grassed area, past a potting shed and tool shed.  Part of this area is used by the current owners for accommodation, storage shed and runs for their small pets.  Greenhouse with power point.  Water and power running to approximately halfway down the garden. Established fruit trees and planted beds.

This part of the garden leads to a more wooded area with mature trees, groves and clearings, which would delight a child’s imagination and sense of adventure.  The rear boundary borders fields and open farmland.

Services: The property is connected to mains gas, mains drainage and electricity. Council Tax Band E Braintree District Council.
