A substantial TERRACE adjoins the rear of the property, creating an ideal setting for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply relaxing whilst enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
Beyond, the garden extends predominantly to lawn, framed by an abundance of mature trees, established shrubs and seasonal planting which create colour, texture and interest throughout the year.
