OUTSIDE

Cornerstone holds an enviable position at the end of Castle Horneck Road with no houses beyond it, thus no passing traffic and an area of woodland opposite. The property is approached from the road over an asphalted apron with two large electrically operated remote controlled metal gates hung between granite pillars (electricity is connected to the gates but not currently in use). The gates open onto an asphalted driveway that broadens as it enters the gardens to provide a parking and turning area and then sweeps on up to the house. To the left of the parking and turning area by the gates is a well tended lawn with attractive natural stone boundaries topped by hedging and shrubs with flower and shrub beds to the lawn borders and an inset tree. A high, hedged front boundary, providing good privacy. To the right of the entrance gates is:-

THE GATEHOUSE

The Gatehouse would be ideal as a work from home environment, studio or overflow accommodation.

From the lower garden the asphalted driveway proceeds up, past the house to the rear where it broadens into a large parking and turning area with room for numerous vehicles. This area provides access to the DOUBLE GARAGE - 18’3” x 9’5 (part of which is now the utility room) which has a remote controlled metal up and over double door to the front, ceiling light point. Beside the garage is a large covered CARPORT area with a delightfully sculpted front and roof electric light points above each of the three bays (30’3 overall x 12’4”) at its narrowest, 20’ at its deepest. This area is well screened by larch lap fencing and a tall stand of attractive yellow stemmed bamboo interspersed with holly, eucalyptus, hydrangea and other shrubs providing good privacy screen. Further undercover storage area with three ceiling light points and external power point.

At the back of the parking/turning area the garden opens up, initially to a large gravelled sitting area with attractive raised pond, natural stone wall surrounds, a rockery and waterfall. From here a meandering S-shaped gravelled path between brick borders proceeds all the way through the garden with lawns on either side and a bank boundary to the road topped by high hedging providing privacy and a close board fenced boundary on the other side provides the same. The gardens are beautifully planted with a range of raised beds behind brick borders housing a wide variety of flowers, shrubs and a myriad of climbing roses. Part way along is a timber garden shed and at the back of the more formal garden is a fenced boundary with a rose covered archway leading through to a large composting/bonfire area with close board fenced boundaries.

In all the gardens extend to approximately ¾ of an acre.
