Wrought iron gates open to the driveway which leads down the side of the bungalow to the detached garage.

The front garden has been landscaped to be low maintenance and features a central stone focal point set into gravel with a side paved area for seating and raised beds around the edges all with well-established and colourful planting. Gated from either side, the back garden is approached down a short set of steps and offers a variety of colourful flowering shrubs including hydrangeas and roses which provide seasonal interest and structure. A seating area offers room for outdoor furniture and a combined shed/greenhouse offers practical storage and a place to potter.

To all intents and purposes, the bungalow is ready for immediate occupation, it has been upgraded over the years with addition of the conservatory (in around 2000), renewed roof covering (around 2014), a new wet room to replace the bathroom, installation of PVC double glazed windows and gas fired central heating.
