A particular feature of Rannoch House are the super gardens which, over the last 10 years have been landscaped by the owner. They are arranged around a central water feature with a quadrant of very well tended lawns bordered by superbly stocked beds which offer an array of colour throughout the seasons. Connecting pathways lead to further water features, a summer house and areas to sit and enjoy around the garden.
The property is approached via an electric remotely operated gate which leads to a large parking area and extra large double garage which is also electrically operated.
The location is ideal for those who enjoy country/green living whilst still being convenient for those who commute, with trains to London from nearby Wendover to Marylebone and train to Euston and Clapham Junction.
A viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the lifestyle opportunity that Rannoch House represents.
