To the west of the house, beside the parking area is a large purpose built garage block with space for 3 cars and the Annexe is to the rear. Gardens and Grounds To the front of the house is a large lawned area which is bordered by well stocked borders and flanked by large mature trees. The lawn is approached from the terrace which is to the rear of the house with steps down to the lawn. This creates an exceptional setting over three large terraced levels of garden. The tennis court is flood-lit and the decking above the bowling alley doubles up as a gallery area. The decking area beyond the swimming pool complex is built around a wonderful fish pond with a small island and a covered gazebo. This decking area has recently been landscaped and gives the gardens wonderful dimensions largely due to the rock waterfall that flows from the upper fish pond down to the lower pond.
