Outdoors

From the main hallway, you can slip out onto the porch, where comfortable seating is available for coffee and the morning paper or an early evening respite, listening to the sounds of the river at sunset.

Behind the house, a spacious patio includes seating, tables, a lawn for badminton or croquet, and a stone fishpond.

Not so wild beasts are known to roam the picturesque corners of the garden.
