The triple garage block measures 36' x 17 with up and over doors, power and light. A further range of outbuildings offers impressive amounts of workshop and storage space. The garden lies to the back (east) and side (south) of the bungalow with a large terrace on the southern side. The garden has a number of raised beds with a wide variety of plants and shrubs giving tremendous colour and interest.
