Accessibility

The garden is reached via a sun drenched terrace with table and chairs. The garden is large with mature trees providing shade in the summer. Many of the trees bear fruit and nuts in season. In the garden is a small solid fuel barbecue (there is wood at hand). There is a 10 x 5m swimming pool with the latest salt technology so there is hardly any chlorine.

Car parking is readily available on a safe and quiet street in front of the house.
