The front garden is attractively laid out with gravel areas with roses planted, giving the property a welcoming and well cared for appearance. A pathway leads to the front entrance and useful porch. <br/><br/>The rear garden is a particularly lovely feature of the property and has clearly been much loved and carefully tended by the current owners during their many years at the home. Mainly west facing, it enjoys a good degree of privacy and is enclosed. A generous paved patio adjoins the house, creating an attractive area from which to enjoy the garden, with colourful pots and established planting adding plenty of charm and interest. Beyond the patio, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn and is complemented by a variety of mature trees, shrubs and well stocked borders which give the space a wonderfully established feel. There are further areas of planting throughout the garden, with an abundance of colour and greenery creating a very pretty backdrop. The mature planting also helps give the garden its private and peaceful character, while the lawn provides a lovely open aspect. A greenhouse and garden shed are positioned within the garden, adding to its traditional appeal and practicality. Altogether, it is a generous, established and very inviting outside space which reflects the care and attention given to the property over the last forty years.<br/><br/><b>Useful Information</b> - <br/><br/>Energy Efficiency Rating - D<br/>Council Tax Band D<br/>Upvc Double Glazing <br/>Mains Drainage <br/>Freehold<br/><br/><b>Location And Directions</b> - <br/><br/>Marnhull is approximately 3 miles to the north of the market town of Sturminster Newton and lies in the Blackmore Vale in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
