There are iron gates leading from the driveway, down the side of the property to the laid to lawn and private gardens behind. There is a double garage which has electric panelled doors along with a door that leads into the utility room.

The gardens themselves are predominantly laid to lawn with mature and shrub borders either side with fencing and mature hedging running down the length of the border. The separate paddock, set to the rear, is accessed by a small timber framed bridge linking the two over a run-off stream. The back meadow benefits from several prominent and well established trees dotted around the plot with a timber-framed outbuilding offset to the right hand side which benefits from power and lighting which would be an ideal workshop. There is a gate to the far end providing access from the garden out on to the public footpath.
