Three acres of unique, gorgeous, rambling garden to explore and relax in - one of the best features of the house: three different tiers of lawn, as the house is located at the foot of the Sugar Loaf.
Main front lawn with terrace, deck chairs, outside dining table, chairs and benches, firepit, gas BBQ, table tennis table, wendy-house, swing from very old beautiful oak tree.

Follow the winding path up to the Upper Lawn - smaller with more privacy, great area for peace and quiet, gorgeous views.
Treehouse (nestled under huge old yew tree - you won't be able to see it until you go looking for it!) - rope ladders leading up to its balcony (not suitable for young children unsupervised), and walkway.
