Outside

To the rear of the house, the enclosed garden is a neat and sociable space. For convenience from the open-plan dining room, the garden features a composite deck and leads down two steps to the lawn and patio area. The composite decking is designed for a long shelf-life, and features inlaid LED lights. Up-and-down lighters provide character for evening entertaining, on either side of the bifold doors. Useful outdoor electrical sockets have been installed on the side of the raised bed, and around the external side of the dining room wall. The broad patio area has been laid with porcelain tile, and makes the most of the evening sunshine. The neighbour's garden features a weeping silver birch which makes pretty dappled light into the garden.

A rear gate in the wooden fencing opens to a pedestrian alley that leads either to the parade of nearby shops, or to the main road.
