You will also have use of your own quiet private small garden in front of your section of the house where there is a bench and table and two chairs (if the weather permits).

Neighborhood highlights

Opposite a church and school and residential flats. Usually quiet neighbourhood. Free parking alongside of house and by the church. The drive up is unfortunately not available for guests. Walking distance to shops and bus stop. Close to minor road access to freeway. Corner house therefore no attachment on Serendipity side to neighbours.
Plenty of nature reserve parks at short distance. Ideal for cyclists and nature lovers for walks through wooded areas. Canals for boating etc. and summer swims in the lake.
