The house is approached over a block paved carriage driveway which provides parking for numerous cars and leads to the garage.

The rear garden is just delightful and has been carefully landscaped over the years to provide great privacy and seclusion on all sides. There is a large paved terrace that extends across the back of the house and lawned gardens extend away to the end where a small vegetable garden can be found. The gardens are flanked by a variety of mature shrubs and hedgerows, and features an established and productive apple tree. Situated in the far corner of the garden is a lovely peaceful and relaxing seating area, which could, if required, be the perfect spot for a children's trampoline.
