Outside, the rear garden has been landscaped to create an attractive and usable outdoor space, with a covered pergola providing a lovely sheltered spot for outdoor dining, relaxing or entertaining. The two-car block-paved driveway provides ample off-road parking, while the rural outlook adds to the feeling of space and privacy.
