These include a large car port, a double garage which further benefits from loft space above, and a substantial separate garage sufficient to house a caravan, motor home or boat. To the rear of the garages sit modern and well-equipped animal kennels. In addition, there is an
amazing traditional Suffolk Barn that the current owners have gone to great lengths to preserve; this includes reinforcement of the timber frame and new weather-boarded elevations; the roof is part tiled and part corrugated. This versatile space would make an ideal party barn, with floor to ceiling windows and north-facing French doors that overlook the tennis court. To one end of the barn is a store area and adjoining it is a wood store and workshop. In the furthest part of the formal gardens lies an octagonal wooden summer house.
