The garden to the front is flanked by two driveways with areas of gravel and a path between them. There are flowerbeds and a cherry tree which provide year round colour. At the back of the house there is a large patio area, accessed from the family room and utility. Beyond is a large lawn enclosed by secure hedging and a fence on one side.
