Outside
At the front of the house a paved path leads to the front door past a small front lawned garden with a flowerbed border. To the south of the house and adjoining, is a range of three garages (two of which have automatic up and over doors) and a garden door at the rear. There is a substantial loft area above, ideally suited for improvements to form a playroom or separate office subject to the necessary consents.
The main area of garden is to the rear of the house and faces east and south. Outside the conservatory there is a flagged terrace with rose beds and an expanse of lawn protected by a curving beech hedge, with a mature magnolia and a fine acacia in one corner. Clematis, Virgina creeper, rambling roses and honeysuckle decorate the rear elevations, and there is an implement store and wood shed at the back of the house.
Beyond the beech hedge the garden extends away to the east with a number of apple trees, a flowering cherry, a spreading juniper, birch, copper beech and horse chestnut amongst other fine specimens. In the furthest corner there is a stone barn with a corrugated roof, used for storage , while to the north of the house a mellow brick and stone garden wall supports a greenhouse with a productive vine and provides shelter for a soft fruit and vegetable garden. A flagged path leads between neatly clipped lawns to where a herbaceous border provides year round colour outside the kitchen window.
Behind the high wall there is a further lawned area which provides a rear driveway to the property (as well as to the neighbouring property), and the garden is accessed from here by a five bar wooden gate.
