The garden
The gardens form a defining feature of the home, extending around the property in a series of well-established and thoughtfully arranged spaces. Broad, level lawns create an immediate sense of scale, bordered by mature trees, flowering shrubs and deep planted beds that provide colour and structure throughout the seasons. A central pergola, framed by climbing plants and surrounding borders, creates a natural focal point and a sheltered seating area, while additional tucked-away benches and pathways offer quieter spots to enjoy different aspects of the garden.

Beyond the formal lawns, the garden transitions into more productive and lifestyle-focused areas, including raised vegetable beds, a greenhouse and working garden space, all neatly defined and integrated within the wider setting. The grounds wrap seamlessly around the house, combining open outlooks with enclosed sections, and connect naturally to the adjoining paddocks. The overall effect is one of a mature, balanced garden that offers both open recreational space and more intimate areas for relaxation and gardening.

The land and outbuildings
The land extends to 2.8 acres, arranged in a natural and highly usable layout that wraps around the home and stretches out towards the river. Open paddocks provide wide, level grazing areas, enclosed by post and rail fencing and bordered by mature trees, creating both structure and a sense of privacy within the wider setting.

A range of outbuildings supports both practical and lifestyle use. A substantial timber-clad garage and storage building provides secure enclosed space, while additional sheds and smaller structures are positioned within the grounds for further storage and utility. A dedicated working area, currently used for poultry, includes timber housing and enclosed runs, demonstrating the versatility of the space for smallholding or hobby use.

The driveway and parking
A sweeping gravel driveway leads through timber gates and opens out to a generous turning area. The approach is framed by established planting, including shaped borders, mature shrubs and a central circular bed, creating a strong sense of arrival. The driveway provides extensive parking for multiple vehicles and a two bay oak framed car port is positioned opposite the front of the home, offering additional covered parking.
