The property is approached via a driveway shared by one other property and over which the owners of Wren Cottage have an unencumbered right to access. A 5 bar gate leads to the large parking and turning area in front of the: Double Garage and Car Port: of timber construction under a tiled roof. This building benefits from power and light. Rear Gardens: From the parking and turning area the Gardens to the rear of the Double Garage and Carport have a parkland feel with a good sized area of lawn surrounded by banks of mature trees and shrubs, perfect for a childrens play area, the growing of vegetables or perhaps providing space to tend chickens and or to live the good life! Within this area of the garden are a number of redundant buildings including a Cattle Shed and Duck House. Entrance to the more formal gardens is via a wrought iron gate with tiled porch over. This pathway through the more formal gardens gives you a taste of the time and effort that has been taken to create such a well planted and tranquil setting for Wren Cottage. Specimen trees, shrubs, herbaceous and perennial plants including clematis, roses, and honeysuckle will provide colour and interest throughout the seasons. There is a quiet arbour in this area of the garden where the family have enjoyed barbecues and alfresco eating over the years. Box hedging, paved terraces and picket fencing lead to the rear of the cottage and another arbour which is strewn with clematis. Gardens to the Front Elevation: The gardens to the front elevations continue the cottage garden/parkland setting theme with a sweeping area of lawn, bordered by beech and shrub hedging. There is a greenhouse in this area of the garden and again the planting is a delight to gives colours and scents to delight the senses throughout the year.
