The fully enclosed wrap around garden is well nurtured and lovingly cared for. Featuring mature shrubs and trees, lawned sections, raised beds for growing fruit and vegetables, patio areas laid with natural stone and a decked section with a pergola to sit and capture glorious evening sunsets.

This property keeps giving with Honeybee’s best feature: the additional 90m² of separate living space in the detached, two storey, stunning Annexe in the corner of the plot.
