A driveway leads off Church Street and runs down the side of the cottage to a detached outbuilding, currently used as storage but ideal as a workshop or garaging. The pretty gardens wrap around the cottage whilst mainly lying to the rear and side with a patio area, well stocked borders and level lawns. To the front the cottage is set back and raised off Church Street bounded by stone walling, lawns and flower beds.
