A detached outbuilding currently serves as a home office, offering a quiet, separate space for remote working or personal projects- completely removed from the core living areas. This feature is particularly valuable for professionals seeking a clear divide between home and work life.

The double garage provides secure storage or workshop potential, while the large driveway allows ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles, making the home suitable for both families and visiting guests.
