The house sits on a plot of about 0.1 of an acre (about 125’/38m long and 35’/10.5m wide), with front and rear gardens. The front garden is fence enclosed and there is a gated gravel driveway leading to a detached single garage to the side of the house. A side gate leads to the South-facing rear garden, which includes a brick outhouse and greenhouse. The garden is largely laid to lawn with former vegetable beds.

The house is considered to offer scope for extending, subject to the necessary consents. The adjoining cottage has been extended to the side in the past and it may be possible to incorporate the outbuildings into the house footprint.
