Pathways along each side of the property are gated (one side sealed) and provide access to the rear.
The rear garden is a true delight and extends over 80m ( 265ft ) into Pensbury Woods. Across the full width of the property, and accessible from all the main reception rooms is the large ( 750 sq.ft ) paved terrace incorporating an elegant metal balustrade and arch over steps down to an area of lawn edged with mature borders planted with a variety of shrubs and bushes. Stone steps lead down again to a second area of lawn with a feature circular pond and fountain. This part of the garden also features mature borders and hedging, a small shed and a quirky tiled former summerhouse where you can read a book and enjoy a coffee. More steps lead down to the orchard of apple and pear trees, and to the woods beyond. In all the plot extends to nearly 0.6 acre.
