Outside

Outside, the property is approached via a driveway providing off-road parking for up to five cars. The rear garden is a particular feature, being mainly laid to lawn with a paved patio seating area, enclosed by fencing and mature planting, making it ideal for outdoor dining and family enjoyment.
