Planted borders contain a variety of flora. There are also a number of outbuildings, including a double garage and workshop, storage shed and most noticeable a covered swimming pool, which comes with both a shower area and sauna. Although, some maintenance is needed to the heat pump, which is not a costly job it would be amazing for children on warm summer days and is certainly of a size that those who swim for exercise would enjoy.

Finally, it is worth noting that the size of the home's plot and gardens means there is certainly scope for significant extension. Subject to local planning there would be an option for any buyer to add further bedrooms and reception rooms if needed both increasing the home's space and value.
