Double folding French doors open out to an Indian sandstone patio complete with remote control awning making this a haven for dining al fresco. A well-stocked laundry (also with attractive marble tiled floor), cloakroom and guest facilities conclude the accommodation at this level.

To the front wrought iron electric gates open into a gravelled roundabout that provides secure parking for many cars. The luminated front garden offers immense privacy as it is surrounded by trees, a selection of specimen plants, mature planting, and herbaceous borders. The rear garden is particularly impressive. Directly to the rear of the house and mews are two patio areas both with remote control awnings.

Garden arches lead onto an extensive lawn which is an extremely safe environment for children to run and play to their hearts content. To the side a pergola and raised flower beds has a gravelled path that also accesses the large lawn. The garden and grounds extend to almost one acre. As you stroll through the grounds you can appreciate all of the wonderful design features that were incorporated into the house and gardens to make this house a very, very special home.
