Front: A hardstanding driveway allows for plentiful off-road parking with an integral garage offering additional parking or storage options as desired.

Initially accessed directly from the home is a sizeable patio and lawn, as well as access to two outdoor office spaces complete with a power supply. A further seated area is then positioned to the rear of the garden before steps lead up the incline through the embellishing flower beds and towards a wild garden at the highest point of the garden. It is from here the views a most spectacular across the Blackmore Vale.
