A further set of stone pillars leads to the inner driveway in front of the house with additional parking and access to the integral double garage with electric doors, power, light and fitted shelving. At the front, a stone flagged terrace and pergola face south across the magnificent lawns that sweep down to the riverside and small jetty.
