The single garage also has the main door onto Belmont Street (please note that the garage has been partitioned and used as storage but could easily be used as a full garage again).
There is a very pleasant enclosed area also accessed via a gate off Belmont Street with pathway then leading to the kitchen door and two levels of decking creating a very pleasant space to sit out.
