The rear garden is a defining feature of this home. Evidently nurtured over many years, it combines a generous lawn with beautifully established borders, mature trees and a rich variety of shrubs and flowering plants, creating a private and inviting setting.

A paved terrace immediately behind the house provides an attractive space for outdoor dining, with a water feature, with steps leading down to the lawn and further places to sit and enjoy the surroundings.
