A generous patio area creates a wonderful spot for al fresco dining or simply unwinding in the sunshine. The garden’s charm is further enhanced by a mature Christmas tree, lovingly planted by the current owners 20 years ago, now forming a striking focal point. Practicality meets pleasure with a summer house, greenhouse and garden shed, providing ample space for storage, hobbies and gardening, while an outdoor WC adds a thoughtful touch for summer gatherings.
