11 The Annexe Annexe A feature of Bakers Barn is the secondary annexe that would be suitable for a variety of different uses and would easily convert into independent accommodation if required.

To the south is the main lawn, bordered by shrubs and hedges and a particular feature is the extended terrace that is accessed from both the kitchen and the sitting room through French doors. Attached to the house, above the terrace are two electric sun awnings, each measuring 7m x 4m. To the north of the dwellings is a well planted arboretum offering a charming contrast to the more formal lawned area.
