EXTERIOR
The property enjoys a picturesque setting, overlooking the pond beside the lode. It is accessed via a footpath from either Frank Bridges Close or Paddock Street, offering a central yet peaceful location that at times feels wonderfully rural. The front garden features flower beds flanking a path next to a lawned area. The rear garden is a standout feature of the property. Closest to the cottage is a lawn, beyond which lies a more natural garden area which was once richly planted with a variety of perennials, shrubs, and several fruit trees, though it has more recently been allowed to grow rustically. At the far end of the plot is an additional lawned space. The plot has not been measured but it is felt that it is probably approaching 1/5 of an acre. (STS).
