Separated from the house across the driveway is the handsome garaging with a well appointed, independent guest/staff apartment above. This wonderful annexe offers an open plan living room/bedroom, a kitchen and a shower room. It could also be ideal for a gym if required. The garaging is for three cars and benefits from tiled flooring and heating. The garage block also incorporated a gardener’s WC. Planning permission was granted to link the garage to the house on both floors to create a walkthrough on the ground floor into the utility room and a connection to the principal bedroom suite on the first floor. Clarence House sits in immaculately presented gardens and grounds of over 0.9 acres . The driveway and front garden offer a suitably impressive sense of arrival to the house. The rear garden comprises a large expanse of lawn with a paved terrace, mature borders, hedging, a variety of shrubs and trees and a brick wall surround providing seclusion and privacy.
