Outside, a shared shingle driveway serves the cottages and leads to the property`s allocated parking space and detached garage, which benefits from light and power. Opposite the cottage, a pathway flanked by mature planting leads to a useful wood store and garden shed.

One of the property`s most attractive features is the generous west-facing cottage garden situated beside the garage and immediately adjacent to Hempstead Church. Beautifully established and enjoying sunshine throughout much of the day, the garden offers a wonderful backdrop for outdoor living. A paved terrace provides an ideal setting for al fresco dining and entertaining, whilst a winding pathway meanders through well-stocked borders planted with an array of colourful flowers, shrubs and specimen trees. Additional seating areas are positioned throughout the garden to capture different aspects of the sun and surroundings.

Behind the garage sits a timber summer house with power and lighting, creating an ideal retreat, hobby room or garden office. The garden is enclosed by a combination of fencing and mature hedging, providing both privacy and charm.
