The front garden is bordered by a dwarf wall and hedgerow box hedge borders with established rose bushes and an area of shingle terracing. The garden at the rear features a generous limestone patio for al fresco dining, with an established fruit bearing grape vine trellised down one side. Off the patio is a large lawned area bordered by shrubs, flowering perennials and fruit trees, and featuring a second paved seating area.
