To the side of the property is another generous area of garden lawn and a paved courtyard. A generous double garage with two sets of wooden double doors, no doubt originally purposed as stables due to the cobbled driveway that extends into the two garage areas, provides secure parking for two cars or could be converted into a further reception room in the main house (subject to the usual planning consents).
