The house is set back from the road behind a granite chipping in-and-out driveway providing off-street parking for several vehicles and access to the integral garage. The low-maintenance front garden is neatly landscaped, with conifers adding year-round structure and interest. An arched wrought iron gate set within a brick wall provides attractive side access to the rear garden.

The southeast-facing rear garden enjoys a delightful sunny aspect, with an expansive deck adjoining the house and a pergola with a slate roof creating a sheltered outdoor dining and barbecue area. The lawn is enclosed by timber fencing and bordered by mature hedging, providing privacy, natural shade and an attractive green backdrop.
