Outside the gardens are worthy of note being level and mainly laid to lawn with two patio areas. There are some mature shrubs and trees as well as a vegetable plot.

The garden and house are accessed via a wrought iron gate adjacent to the parking area providing off road parking for two cars and the garden is a natural sun trap and offers a good degree of privacy.
