GARDEN & OUTBUILDINGS The property is approached from Southampton Road via a private gravel drive passing between two houses at the front of the road. This leads down for approximately 75 metres to a secluded enclave where there is a gravel turn-round area with access to the front door and the garage/gallery (at present used as a studio). The garage/gallery enjoys a mezzanine floor and oak beams, together with wood effect laminate flooring, casement doors leading outside and exposed brick pillars with a rendered white finish throughout. There is also a Velux window and a glazed window to the rear. To the left hand side of the driveway via three steps there is a sunken garden offering complete privacy which is laid to lawn and there is a further studio bungalow (at present used as an artists studio). This is L-shaped with work benches to the corners, Velux windows and a sink. It has potential to be used as an art studio as it is currently or used as additional accommodation, if so required. There is also a garden shed. The remainder of the garden comprises a beautiful Italian garden with fountain and with raised flower beds in a courtyard setting with access from the sitting room and dining room via French doors. Leading off from the conservatory is the patio garden with a raised patio leading round to the garage with steps leading down to a lawned area. The garden provides a high degree of privacy and is designed to take full advantage of the sun throughout the day.
