Outside
The rear garden is a standout feature — an amazingly tranquil and restful private space, remarkable in the heart of the town. Extending to around 80ft, it is arranged across several sections and levels to create a versatile outdoor retreat.

A patio sits directly behind the townhouse for outdoor dining, with steps to a further seating area ideal for the afternoon sun. A paved pathway winds through the garden, passing a small area of maintenance free artificial lawn and leading to two additional seating spots.

Planting is abundant and varied, with shrubs such as New Zealand flax, Portugal laurel, holly, paperplant, cherry laurel, Virginia creeper, Adam’s needle and boxleaf honeysuckle providing colour and structure year round.

At the far end, a timber gate opens to the driveway with parking for two cars, alongside a good-sized timber shed for garden storage.

This charming garden offers exceptional privacy and calm, a true extension of the home and a superb setting for both relaxation and entertaining.
