The courtyard style paving continues around the property leading to the principal rear garden. This area is extremely private and predominately laid to lawn enjoying a southerly orientation. Raised borders currently house feature ornamental trees and a sun terrace is found in the corner of the garden thoughtfully placed to enjoy the evening sun.
