The home occupies a commanding position opposite Victoria Park, set behind hedged and fenced boundaries that provide privacy and seclusion. There is a vast driveway that provides parking for multiple vehicles and gives access to the oversize 31' x 16' double garage.

The front garden is designed with aesthetic and ease of maintenance in mind. Pretty shrub borders flank the driveway and wrap around the home, creating a welcoming pretty frontage.
