Outside
The property occupies an attractive non-estate position on River Lane, with the front door opening directly onto the footpath. An unadopted lane to the side provides access to a small number of neighbouring properties and leads to a particularly pleasant country walk towards Fordham Wood. The cottage has a private driveway accessed from the lane, together with a gate providing access to the rear garden.

To the rear is a truly delightful, enclosed garden which enjoys a high degree of privacy. Beautifully established, it is richly planted with mature trees, shrubs and well-stocked flower borders, complemented by an ornamental pond and paved seating areas, creating a wonderfully peaceful and secluded setting.

A generous detached outdoor room, currently utilised as a studio, provides excellent additional space and benefits from its own WC.
