Well tended gardens with lovely, neat lawns lay to either side of a paved pathway leading up to the front door. There is a large paddock with open, double fronted field shelter which our current Vendor uses to home Alpacas, but this could also be ideal for someone looking to home a pony or horse, and there are additional open fields within the plot that could also be used.
