Attached to the side of the garage is a lean-to style car port. Wooden and gravelled steps lead up through the large front gardens - which are predominantly laid to lawn with a variety of mature shrubs and trees. The steps lead to a paved pathway and terrace providing an ideal space for outdoor dining to enjoy the sunshine. Adjoining the house and the paved terrace, there is a concrete area, which could provide additional parking or helpful storage area with log store and siting the oil-fired boiler.

To the rear of the property, there is a further paved patio area which enjoys a brick-built barbecue and a paved circular seating area.

Various paths meander through the house gardens, leading past the greenhouse and up into the large paddock beyond, totalling about 4.3 acres. Providing a wildlife haven, the paddock offers superb views across the valley, with the option for a mains fed water supply to be installed within the field. A timber shed houses the water treatment system and provides handy storage space and a large dome installed, providing an ideal space for home growing.
