Outside - The front of Copville has been thoughtfully landscaped with a resin drive with parking for 3/4 cars. Two areas of lawn lie either side of the central path, edged with lavender for a fragrant approach and with a topiary yew tree. Timber gates secure the rear garden and a path leads round to a further parking area and to the South-West facing rear garden. This has a level area of lawn, with mature flower borders, a stylish kitchen garden and shrubs for privacy and seclusion.
At the end of the garden is a wonderful paved terrace, well-loved as a spot for entertaining or relaxing whilst enjoying the views across the adjoining fields and to the hills beyond. There is a useful garden cabin with over 320 sq ft of space. Currently used as a storage workshop and gym.
