Outside Gardens & Paddocks

From the kitchen/family room opening to a large terrace area, perfect for those family barbecues. This opens to a lawned garden proving great space for children’s playing area with a backdrop of ranch fencing leading into the paddocks. Open views to the rear and side.
Three paddocks and orchard separated by a wooden fencing; the far paddock has a field shelter, each paddock has a water butt that is fed from a tap outside the house.
We believe the overall acreage to be in excess of two acres.

What a wonderful home for the whole family to enjoy providing modern living, and a garden perfect for entertaining. A great opportunity to create a small holding, pony paddock or your own vegetable gardens.
