Agent's note: A pedestrian right of way runs through the rear garden, giving neighbouring properties in the terrace rear access to their gardens. This is not an uncommon arrangement for period properties of this nature.

A particular highlight of this attractive Victorian home is its thoughtfully arranged outdoor space, offering both charm and versatility.

Immediately to the rear of the property, and accessed directly from the kitchen, is a delightful enclosed courtyard garden. Framed by attractive brick elevations, this sheltered space has room for potted plants, seating and day-to-day outside storage, creating an inviting area for morning coffee, al fresco dining or a glass of wine after a busy day.

From the courtyard, steps lead up to the main rear garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by fencing, offering a generous amount of outside space for a property of this style. The garden is complemented by established cottage-style flower beds, mature shrubs and seasonal planting, creating a colourful and tranquil setting throughout the year. A paved pathway runs through the garden, leading to a useful timber storage shed at the far end.

The garden provides ample space for children to play, keen gardeners to enjoy, or simply to relax and unwind in peaceful surroundings, with scope for a buyer to further landscape, create additional seating areas or enjoy as a productive garden.

An historic pedestrian right of way runs through the garden, allowing neighbouring occupants access to their gardens.
