Across an area of lawn from this terrace is a further paved area offering another pleasant seating or al-fresco dining space. Alongside this area are two garden sheds. A wide lawn leads away from the house to the foot of the garden overlooking a neighbouring paddock.
There is a more formal area of garden adjoining the annexe having a central lawn bordered by mature shrub and rose beds. A gravel path with pergola over, flanked by palms, leads to the outbuilding.
