The walled garden to the rear is beautifully landscaped with a range of carved stone feature sections as one of the previous owners worked for a local stonemason. There is a brick built outside Privy and steps down to provide rear access into the large garage which has the feeling of an old coach house with curved brick sections. The garage then has double timber doors out onto Silver Street.
