At the rear is a delightful walled garden predominantly laid to lawn with a range of mature specimen trees and various seating areas including a charming Japanese tea house.
The property benefits from modern specifications including an OkoFEN Pellematic boiler, a new multi-fuel stove in the living room and an Anua platinum sewage treatment plant.
