There is a gated entrance to the side of the property which opens onto a gravel drive providing parking for several cars.

The property also includes an insulated green oak double garage with log burner, electricity and internet connectivity, which currently functions as an office, gym and games room with ample storage in the roof space. There is planning permission for construction of an additional garage to the side of the property (planning ref 21/0094/HHD).
