Outside Gillmans is set within expansive, beautifully designed, and well-maintained gardens, enjoying the privacy of being set back from the road. The property is approached via a gravel driveway, accessed through a five-bar gate, leading to ample parking at the front and side of the house. The front garden is enclosed by fencing and features a well-kept lawn, surrounded by a variety of established shrubs and plants in well-stocked beds and borders.
The rear garden is equally charming, with large lawns dotted with a diverse array of mature trees, shrubs, and seasonal bulbs, creating a peaceful and picturesque setting. A stunning Willow tree serves as the garden's centrepiece, and a stream divides the space into two distinct areas.
Adjacent to the house is a spacious, paved terrace with a pergola, perfectly positioned to enjoy the sunny, southerly aspect. The garden also benefits from ample storage, with three concealed, sturdy garden shedsone of which is equipped with power and lightingas well as a greenhouse. A summer house, fully insulated with power and light, offers an ideal space for a home office or retreat.
The property's thatch has been meticulously maintained, with the front thatch and ridge replaced in 2022, and the rear re-combed. The barn's thatch was renewed in 2010, with the ridge replaced in 2020 and the front re-combed.
Within the front gravel area stands an old barn with its own private garden and a striking Willow tree. Recently converted to offer additional accommodation, half of the barn has been successfully let as a holiday rental for the past decade, generating approximately £8,000 annually between April and October. This income could be significantly increased if the entire barn were let year-round.
