Extending to circa one acre, the mature gardens surround the home, offering complete privacy and uninterrupted views from virtually every room. It is these spectacular outlooks that truly set this home apart, with every aspect enjoying a peaceful, green backdrop that creates a sense of tranquillity rarely found. An original well, which feeds the ornamental koi pond, provides a wonderful reminder of the property's heritage and adds further charm to this remarkable setting.
