It is predominantly laid to lawn and divided into separate sections which include a mini orchard with the properties original well and a top section fondly known as ‘the cricket pitch’, creating a sense of space and tranquillity.
A sun terrace, accessible through either of the property’s French doors, overlooks the garden and features a heated outdoor swimming pool. This area is perfect for relaxing and entertaining guests, offering a luxurious and inviting atmosphere.
