This area provides versatile accommodation, ideal for teenagers or a business that perhaps operates from home. The ground floor houses a triple garage providing further secure parking with an adjacent useful workshop and delightful greenhouse.

The detached summer house is a short distance from the main house, extremely useful in the summer months when the outdoor swimming pool and tennis court are in frequent use because it offers a useful kitchen area, shower room , WC and changing room.

The paddock to the rear of the garden and duck pond offer a useful stable block with one large stable, tack room and hay barn, perfect for storing gardening equipment perhaps or stabling a horse or pony.
