To the rear of the property are two dedicated side-by-side parking spaces, along with custom bin storage. There is also a good amount of space to the side aspect, which may lend itself to additional parking or potential extension (subject to relevant planning permissions and consents). The rear garden provides a pleasant, private outdoor space for relaxation and entertaining.
