Mainly laid to lawn there are nicely established borders with an attractive array of specimen planting. Tucked into the corner is a garden room, there is also a separate greenhouse. A generous patio area is directly behind the house and overall the garden has a lovely feel. The front garden is also laid to lawn with a shingle driveway leading up to a covered carport and garage.
