Different patios and seating areas provide peaceful places in which to enjoy the garden and watch the prolific wildlife on offer and the pond is a particular attraction for frogs, newts and other water life. A gate at the back of the garden takes you onto a gravel driveway which provides parking for two cars. There is also a handy plastic shed, timber shed, wooden compost bins and log store.
