At the back of the garage is another door out to the terrace and double doors opening through to the indoor/outdoor games room which is an ideal area for 'ping-pong' or covered outside entertaining. This is part of the outbuildings which stretch alongside the terrace to the side of the kitchen/breakfast room. There are three separate rooms(two interconnecting) which provide the current owners with a large utility room, office, cloakroom and a separate workshop. A boarded out storage room with lighting runs over these rooms. The buildings could have a variety of uses such as an annexe (subject to planning). The garden is mainly laid to lawn with a variety of fully stocked borders with mature shrubs and trees including a Victorian Medlar tree which is older than the house itself, various fruit trees, roses, lavender and heather. A quartered vegetable garden is an attractive feature and a Summerhouse is positioned to catch the evening sun. The garden is secluded and private with laurel and yew hedging all around and a high hedge screens the house at the front giving the property privacy.
