Pippin Close is the first left turn off Robinson Lane and after just a few yards, the shared private driveway leading to number 3 will be found on the left.

The Property Constructed during the 1990s, this attractive and well-maintained detached family house has been greatly improved by rearrangement and extension of the interior, incorporating a brand-new fitted living/dining kitchen with appliances, which is open plan with a glass roof conservatory to the rear. The house has traditional brick-faced cavity walls beneath a main upper concrete-tiled roof and there is a single storey side wing incorporating the garage with pitched concrete-tiled roof over. The original windows have been replaced with modern uPVC double-glazed units and there is an attractive composite front door from a tiled entrance porch. A new central heating boiler has been installed within the last ten years and the re-designed interior has created an attractive lounge with walk-in bay window and a gas fire set into a contemporary surround.

There are gardens to front, side and rear which are mature and well-stocked, the former enjoying surprising privacy and seclusion whilst also taking advantage of the sunny south aspect. The rear garden takes advantage of the afternoon and evening sun. Viewing is strongly recommended.

Gardens The house is advantageously positioned to enjoy gardens wrapping around the front, side and rear. The front garden is unusual as it enjoys the seclusion normally found at the rear of a house whilst also benefitting from a warm, sunny aspect. The L-shaped driveway is separated from the front garden by a beech hedge. A lawned area surrounds a wildlife pond created by the present owners with a well-stocked rockery surround and pond plants. There are borders with a wealth of ornamental shrubs, bushes and bedding plants together with a crab apple tree and a bee bee tree. There are fences to the boundaries and separating the side garden with a screen gate between the two. At one side is the metal framed greenhouse.

The side garden is enclosed and laid to lawn around a raised bed for vegetables or herbs. A good size garden shed stands at the side and there are 7 linked water butts from the house roof, a single water butt from the shed roof and two compost bins. Paving slabs in the lawn lead into the rear garden.

The side lawn extends into the rear garden with mature shrubs surrounding, and an established ornamental tree close to the fenced rear boundary. A pathway then leads through a pergola with climbing plants and roses to a further garden shed and a gravelled seating area around a circular paved patio. As the owners have demonstrated this is an ideal area for pot plants, tubs and hanging baskets with space for garden seating and furniture.

Storage area to the rear of the shed and space for wheelie bins. Outside tap and LED floodlight.
