Externally

Lesbury occupies a tranquil position in generous and well-maintained gardens. A gravelled driveway leads to the house which is set well back from the road. There is ample space for parking and turning, and the driveway continues down one side of the house to the detached garage. The garage also houses a store room to the rear with excellent storage for garden equipment. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn and is sheltered by mature trees which ensure privacy. The house is slightly elevated with an appealing stone terrace leading to the front door.

The main gardens sit to the rear and stretch away from the house with very gentle terracing adding form to the well-kept lawns. A flagged patio runs across the rear elevation of Lesbury with space for al fresco dining and entertaining. The boundaries are protected by mature trees bringing peace and privacy. A variety of colourful plantings complete the tranquil and idyllic escape. As a whole the property extends to around 0.5 acres.
