To the right of the front garden sits an ample brick built GARAGE accessed via up and over door with a pedestrian door to the rear.

To the rear of the property is an extensive paved patio offering most generous space stretching the width of the house, creating both formal and informal seating areas for one to sit and enjoy this tranquil coastal oasis. From the patio a flight of steps leads down to the lawn and to one side a gravel path guides one past the charming, original brick built and half glazed greenhouses; a delightful nod towards the origins of the plot. The rear garden at Weldon House displays both a maturity and presence that belies what one may expect. Devotedly created by the original owner of Weldon House, the garden is a legacy that has been carefully and lovingly developed by the present owners and is a true credit to them.
Well stocked borders offer a plethora of thriving shrubs and planting native to a coastal location, many of which remain from the original garden, whilst well considered flourishes of colour add delicate interest and contrast. The artistry of this garden is the lack of formal boundary, from this viewpoint one is able to look out uninterrupted across the lawn, to the sea and out to the distant horizon beyond.
