Access to the property is via a small, quiet village road and it is completely enclosed with wide, remote-controlled electric front gates, high walls, fences and tall hedges to all sides. This ensures that most of the external areas including the swimming pool, shaded patios, and deck areas are hidden from being overlooked by neighbours and that the garden is pet secure.. There is parking at the side and rear of the property, large enough for many cars including a car-port and a large double garage.
The main entrance to the house is through the large L-shaped fully double glazed conservatory which wraps around the lounge and leads to the front door. A second side door from the conservatory leads to the front deck and the raised tiled walkway which follows the side of the house to the pool and garage area at the rear.
