The paving extends to the southerly side of the house and continues to the front entrance doorway and also to the garage. The detached double garage (approx. max. 6.8m x 5.25m) has power connected and twin electric roller shutter doors. A broad, gated entrance to the side of the garage leads through to the northern side of the property with conservatory rear entrance doorway looking out over garden space.
