The property is approached via a pretty cottage style front garden bordered box hedging with a footpath flanked by well stocked flowerbeds, through to the front door. The front is wisteria clad with well stocked borders. To one side is a gravelled driveway providing parking for two cars. The beautiful gardens at Cruck House extend to approximately 0.35 acres. It has been cleverly designed to create different areas of lawn surrounded by smart gravel paths, box hedging, yew topiary and flower borders, as well as a number of attractive specimen trees. There is a wide terrace running along the back of the house from which to enjoy the wonderful views across the south-westerly facing garden to the countryside beyond.
