A separate, fenced vegetable garden offers space for homegrown produce, while two generous patio areas create ideal settings for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Beyond the main garden, the paddock has been seeded as
a wildflower meadow, adding natural charm and attracting wildlife - a peaceful and picturesque extension of this exceptional outdoor space.
