The grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped to create an attractive and tranquil environment, featuring expansive lawns, mature trees, and established flower beds. Complementing the main house is a substantial detached barn, a range of useful outbuildings, and an attractive carport, all offering excellent potential for a variety of uses or future development, subject to the necessary consents.
