Outside

The house enjoys a lovely approach via a gated entrance that opens onto a wide gravel driveway capable of accommodating several vehicles. This in turn leads to a contemporary DOUBLE GARAGE with power and lighting, work bench and electrically operated up and over door. The front garden has been well thought out to provide interest yet at the same time to keep maintenance to a minimum. Its focal point is a large well stocked and colourful crescent shaped border containing numerous mature shrubs. The front garden itself is fully enclosed by attractive mature hedging as well as well constructed brick and fenced walls.



A walled and gravel pathway leads via the side of the house through a picket gate onto a paved pathway/seating area and beyond into the rear garden. This is on two levels. The upper level mainly consists of a large gravelled seating area enclosed by a low wall and interspersed with well established ornamental trees and hedging and to the side by a small lawn enclosed by shrubs, trees and hedging and alongside which is a raised planter and ornamental pond. Here also there is a GREENHOUSE. Steps lead down to the lower level of the garden which is laid to a large lawn enclosed by hedging, shrubs and featuring a number of mature trees. From the rear garden there is a view over open ground and Upton's Pepperpot. Beyond the rear garden is a paddock incorporating Upton's main flood defence Bund.
