About the outside
The south-facing rear garden offers a tranquil retreat, primarily laid to lawn and surrounded by mature trees, shrub beds, and vibrant flower borders. Recently redesigned, it boasts a sunny terraced area just behind the house—ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. A newly built brick-walled section, enhanced with subtle underlighting, frames a stunning porcelain patio that spans the width of the property, wrapping around to the front, where a newly paved driveway adds a polished touch.
Backing onto open fields, the garden provides a sense of privacy, reinforced by a newly planted laurel hedge and fencing. Further up, a beautifully crafted timber 'eyrie,' complete with electricity and lighting, offers a peaceful spot to unwind and enjoy sunset views. A timber shed, also wired for electricity and discreetly nestled behind hedging, adds practical storage space.
For nature lovers, the garden merges seamlessly into the countryside. A rear wooden gate opens directly onto the Mendip Hills, providing easy access to scenic walking trails.
