The gardens are south facing and are terraced down to the Wensleydale Railway which passes the bottom of the garden and is a heritage line. These are beautifully landscaped with a range of paths and areas planted with a mix of flower, shrubs and established trees. There is ample patio for seating and a summer house which has electricity together with a further private patio at the front of the property.

To the front there is ample off-road parking for a number of vehicles. The property is at the bottom of the shared driveway with private driveway beyond and maintenance is split equally between the properties.

Overall, Becksound would make an excellent family home or active retirement home in a thriving market town.
