A paved terrace, positioned directly off the rear of the property, provides an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining.

The garden is enclosed by a brick wall and benefits from a side access gate leading back to the driveway.

Towards the far end of the garden is an outdoor swimming pool, surrounded by paved areas and with steps leading into the shallow end. Beyond the pool is a pool house offering open storage and changing facilities, a pergola area with lighting, and a dedicated plant room. A separate building houses the pool filtration equipment and boiler, with an additional timber storage shed completing the outdoor amenities.
