Rear Garden
The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of attractive, terraced outdoor spaces, perfectly suited to both relaxation and entertaining. A generous paved sun terrace provides an ideal setting for al fresco dining and enjoys a pleasant elevated outlook across the grounds. Timber decking, gravelled pathways and landscaped planting beds weave through the garden, creating a variety of secluded seating areas surrounded by mature trees and established shrubs that provide a high degree of privacy and a wonderful sense of tranquillity. Feature timber balustrades and glazed screening enhance the contemporary yet natural feel of the space, while the tiered design makes excellent use of the sloping plot. The mature boundaries and woodland backdrop create a picturesque setting throughout the seasons, making the garden a particular highlight of the property and an ideal retreat for outdoor living.

Driveway
Gravelled driveway to the rear with access from the road, steps down to garden.
