Gated side access leads through to the wall and fence enclosed garden. A detached timber clad outbuilding currently serves as a workshop, with a door and window to the garden, power and light, with a separate storeroom.

The rear garden is a particularly noteworthy feature of the property being laid to lawn with glorious shrub and flower borders, a paved terrace directly to the rear of the house ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining.
