Outside, the rear garden mainly features laid lawn surrounded by mature hedging that ensures privacy. A brick-paved patio wraps around to provide ample outdoor space for gatherings or quiet relaxation. Additional storage options are available with two timber sheds and a greenhouse enhancing practicality.
