The detached garage to the east of the house has had the loft boarded out by the owners and to one side a covered seating and entertaining area has been created, ideal for a summers evening. To the east of the garaging is a delightful seating area within the “secret garden” with roses climbing up the walls and a doorway leads through to the walk way along Thornton Beck. The south facing garden has been landscaped and an abundance of new bedding flowers and shrubs have been added to enhance the space along with the mature trees and shaped lawn meandering along the driveway.
