EXTERNALLY

Little Brands is approached by an established front boundary with deep hedging and impressive wrought iron electric entry gates onto an extensive gravel driveway, which is served by a discrete single cart lodge to one side and an impressive, detached triple bay garage to the other. The property is set back from the road and benefits from stunning, well considered landscaped gardens to all sides. A flagstone patio runs around the entirety of the property offering varied seating areas which again benefit from low mellow brick walls which provide established planting, offering colour and interest throughout the year. Steps rise to the most impressive pergola walkway with an established wisteria running its entirety. Further double wrought iron gates open into an extensive rear garden which offers a parkland feel due to its established trees and hedging to all boundaries. Beyond the garden open countryside surrounds all borders offering an extremely tranquil and private position. A flagstone and gravel pathway leads up to the generous mower shed with a further gravel courtyard surrounding a delightful pond with filtration and waterfall, positioned in front of another substantial outbuilding which currently houses the plant system for the pond, workshop area and further extensive storage with double doors to the rear offering ride on mower access. This could be utilised as ancillary accommodation to the main house if required or indeed office space if working from home. The stunning grounds also offer a delightful summer house and established yew hedging giving further access via a five-bar gate onto the driveway and detached triple garage.
The garage has three roller doors, concrete floor and pedestrian access into an adjoining workshop/studio with views to the rear gardens. There is a generous pitched roof which offers potental to an incoming family to create further ancillary living space if the garage is note required. It is also important to note that the main house is not listed and offers a fantastic opportunity to extend.
