Gardens and Grounds
The garden is as welcoming as the house itself. Step out onto the opulent flagged terrace where life and entertaining can extend effortlessly from the home. Edged in glazing so as to not spoil the uninterrupted views, spend evenings and weekends hosting friends, dining alfresco and soaking up the warm summer rays as you relax in the hot tub. Uplighters enhance the darker evenings creating romance and ambience, and allowing the parties to go on into the night.

Below the terrace, steps and paths take you through a tiered garden, leading to the furthest point in complete solitude. It's an ideal escape for the children, where games of football can be played on the lower lawned areas and dens can be built in the mature trees, that offer both shade and privacy.

Established shrubs and bushes add both colour and depth all year round - a real haven for wildlife.
For those keen gardeners looking for a project then construct some raised beds and get planting. When the seasons come around you'll have a cornucopia of ingredients for jams, jellies and stews.

Filled with potential, journey through the natural planted archway into the lower section of the garden to a blank canvas. Already benefitting from some hardstanding perhaps an outbuilding could be created for those working from home, with separate access to the road this would make it ideal for clients to visit away from the main home. There is also scope here to extend your rental portfolio with additional accommodation.

Storage is in abundance at Stoneleigh, not just internally, but the large integrated garage provides excellent space for vehicles.
