The rear garden further enjoys stunning views toward Ben Rinnes mountains and is a wonderful sun trap in the Summer. Additionally, there are a variety of outhouses with power and lighting, ideal for outdoor storage.

Further outside space includes useful garden storage/outbuildings, while the overall size and maturity of the garden adds considerably to the appeal of the property.
