GARDENS

Blackmore Lodge sits in a large mature plot of 0.57 acres. The property is accessed via a five bar gate from the layby which runs alongside the Worcester Road. The gate opens to a stone chip driveway providing parking area for six/seven cars and with space for a motor home or caravan. The stone chip area continues to the front of the property giving access to the front door and to the side leading to the accesses to the apartments.

The level, west facing, rear garden is accessed from the dining kitchen which opens to a wrap around paved patio with plenty of space for a table and chairs for al fresco dining and outside entertaining. Beyond the patio the garden opens to a spacious lawn with a wide range of mature trees and shrubs. A path leads part raised beds to a large timber framed workshop and second further timber shed (both would benefit from some maintenance). To the rear end of the garden is a small wooded area.

APARTMENT GARDENS

Each of the apartments has its own outside space. The Garden Apartment has a small paved area, with space for table and chairs, separated from the garden by a small screen. The balcony apartment has a wide balcony with space for a table and chairs. Both apartments can be access independently from the driveway.
