A terraced area just off the kitchen makes for a wonderful place from which to take in the quiet privacy of this space and to entertain. The scope for the garden is endless with ample amounts of space for outdoor studios, large extension, timer framed garden room and or a larger kitchen STPP.
As well as unrestricted parking to the front of the house, parking is also available at the end of the garden, accessed via a private lane. If desired, a garage could be constructed STPP.
