Beyond the patio, a pathway leads into the main rear garden, which is generously planted and enjoys a mature, established feel. The garden incorporates areas of lawn together with a variety of mature trees, shrubs and well-stocked borders, with pathways winding through the planting and a circular paved seating area forming an attractive focal point.
The garden is principally enclosed by timber panel fencing, while towards the far end there is timber post-and-rail fencing, beyond which the property backs onto open fields.
