Next door is a large double garage with a high pitched roof with great potential to board and add even more storage. Next to this is a triple carport with potential for development (our owners were advised planning permission could be granted for a Granny Annexe or similar above the structure).
Following the brick pathway past a huge weeping willow tree you come to the croquet lawn, flanked by established trees and shrubs.
Further down the path is the secret garden, which offers a beautiful sandstone surrounded swimming pool, walled on one side and fully fenced with large conifers on the other, this area is completely private and secluded. There are fruit trees and a charming summerhouse at the rear of the lawned area, a brick built pump-house and built-in barbecue,
Back towards the house behind the double garage is a tennis court, flanked by a good sized chicken run and a large lawn, formally a donkey paddock.
Surrounding all the outbuildings and hugging the roundels all the way to the front of the property is the brick patio, which to the left side also offers access to the hexagonal conservatory and a large Victorian-style glass veranda/awning adjoining the conservatory with space for a table and chairs. 

PADDOCK Further down the lane is a track with right of way to a separate parcel of land included in the sale, and about 100 yards from the house. It is approximately 4.75 acres, with frontage onto the river Teise with the benefit of fishing rights. Please see the attached map, (the last photograph of the particulars).
