Description
The outside space of this property is a testament to thoughtful design and natural beauty in harmony. Set against a picturesque hillside backdrop, the garden unfolds in a series of tiers that maximise the stunning panoramic views over Whaley Bridge and towards Chinley Churn. A lower pathway bordered by a mature treeline introduces the enchanting setting, leading to a neatly manicured lawn area enclosed by a quaint picket fence. Ascending to the Indian stone paved terrace, outdoor living takes centre stage as it offers an idyllic spot for al fresco dining and relaxing moments. The tiered garden design unfolds with bold retaining walls and staircases leading to a captivating summer house flanked by traditional dry stone walls. Adorned with multiple seating areas strategically positioned across various levels, including a rustic wood pergola, the garden ensures you can bask in sunlight throughout the day and relish beautiful sunsets in the evening. Accessible via a private road, the secure, gated gravel driveway provides ample parking for four vehicles, bordered by lush greenery that seamlessly integrates with the enchanting tiered garden landscape, featuring two practical wooden garden sheds for added convenience.
