Denmark Cottage includes a driveway leading off Church Street which opens out to a sizeable vehicular area providing parking and turning for not only this property but also owners of Nos 45, 47-49 Church Street where it is an obligation to provide each of the properties with a parking space. The Barn has a right of way along the drive for vehicular and pedestrian access and owns the space upon which their car is parked. Between the parking spaces and The Smithy is a grassed area serving as an 'apron' to the building with to the side, space for a further vehicle which currently is the owners caravan. The driveway and parking area is bordered by a lovely old brick wall to neighbouring Tudor House and which through the summer is lined with pretty hollyhocks.

Beyond this space lies the PADDOCK, through a traditional 5-bar field gate, the paddock extending to approximately 0.4 Acre (0.17 Hectare) and is well fenced, including post and rail along with being netted. Currently the fencing contains a terrier which for those familiar with the breed pays testament to the fences. It is possible to let a dog out of the cottage to run through the garden and straight into the paddock as a side pedestrian gate from the garden combines with further gating from the parking area. Interested parties may be interested to know the owner will sell, by separate negotiation, a Stiga mulching ride-on tractor mower.
