long. There is ample space for sporting activities and for children to play safely.

For balmy summer evenings the garden can be lit up and you can use those outside
speakers from the Hi Fi. As the house stands on its own 44 acres, you will appreciate
that neighbours do not overlook you, therefore a very high level of privacy is
