A generous paved terrace spans the width of the property to the rear, providing an excellent area for al fresco entertaining and with stone steps leading up to the rear lawn. There is also a summer house nestled within the mature shrub borders.
To the front, a paved terrace adjoins the swimming pool complex and in turn leads to a further terraced area.
From Wildernesse Avenue, electric wrought iron gates lead via a long driveway to a generous resin bonded gravel area to the front of the house, providing off road parking for several vehicles and leading to the integral triple garaging.
