Front Garden:
Low wooden fence covered with hedging, enclosed part of garden with small gravel area. Step leading to front door.
Courtyard:
The courtyard is approached directly from the kitchen/diner, it is enclosed by a wall and has shrubs and a pathway leading out of the rear gate. This would also make an ideal patio area, ideal to read the morning paper over a cup of coffee. Directly outside the gate the path that runs along the rear of the properties has a right of way between all of the neighbours to access their gardens and the side gate access leading to the front to take out the bins. Opposite the Courtyard there is a shed which also belongs to the property.
Side Garden:
The benefit from the end of terrace is you have the side garden, which again can be used as a main garden, for a lawn area, shrubs and flowers or left as a private area as it is fenced and you walk by it to reach the main garden and garage.
Rear Garden:
A large garden which is offset from the property as are all the gardens, this is intriguing as there is an area to store wood for the open fire in the house, an area to hang the washing, an area to grow vegetables, a greenhouse, there are also 5 apple trees and a cherry tree and the garden is relatively private. A gate at the end leads to the:
