Adjacent, a home office allows for productive remote working in a peaceful and inspiring setting.

Mature trees encircle the home, offering complete privacy and a chorus of birdsong from dawn to dusk. A sun-soaked wooden deck provides the perfect spot for outdoor dining or morning coffee, overlooking a fishpond and expertly maintained lawns. Flower beds, herbaceous borders, and specimen planting complete the picture.
