In the past, the garden has hosted splendid garden parties, outdoor pursuits and even open-air promenade theatre!

Quadruple garage
At over 550 square feet, the garage is the size of two double garages side by side, offering a terrific amount of space for vehicles, workshop, storage or a mixture of all of the above. Power and light.
